CySEC is not Tier-1. It’s what most people consider Tier-2. You still get EU-level protections like negative balance protection and segregated accounts but the oversight isn’t as tight as, say, the FCA in the UK or the CFTC in the US.
Bear in mind that a lot of brokers base themselves in Cyprus because the rules are a bit more business-friendly, but that can be a double-edged sword. It’s not a red flag by itself, but I’d definitely still do my due diligence—especially with newer names.
