Licensed as a Forex Execution (STP) firm since 2017 under the CySEC-registered brand OZIOS; the 'Monestia' brand name could not be independently verified from available sources and may be outdated or a naming error -- recommend confirming directly with the CySEC register entry before publishing. Caution: one tracker (WikiFX) rates it "High Potential Risk" at 2.76/10 overall with a risk-control sub-score of 0.00/10 and advises users to stay away, while a separate automated site-safety scanner gave the broker's website a "legitimate" 80/100 trust score (while also flagging an unknown site owner). These sources disagree sharply and neither is resolved here -- treat both as data points, not a verdict.
