Crown Forex SA was a foreign exchange brokerage firm headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland. The company provided online currency trading services to a global client base, including both retail and institutional investors. Founded in the mid-2000s, Crown Forex experienced rapid growth but ultimately faced significant operational and financial issues. In 2009, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) took control of the company, citing severe organizational deficiencies and over-indebtedness, which led to the firm's bankruptcy and liquidation.
