SmartProfitFX vs Alchemy Markets
Alchemy Markets is the current name to use for the Cayman broker path where the old cccapital.ky domain now redirects to Alchemy. GLEIF lists City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited as a previous legal name of active Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd., while the separate UK City Credit Capital firm is failed/liquidation and should not be listed as an active broker.

Verdict
The practical choice is not SmartProfitFX versus an old CCCapital listing. It is SmartProfitFX's Eightcap-powered setup versus the current Alchemy Markets broker route, with old City Credit Capital Cayman names preserved only as alternate-name context.
Use it for the Eightcap-powered setup
SmartProfitFX can make sense for eligible non-U.S. traders who want Eightcap-powered platforms, broad CFD market access, account resources, funding context and support, with the $1 lower round-trip commission than opening directly with Eightcap as the pricing reason to use SmartProfitFX.
Use the current Alchemy name
Alchemy Markets may fit only when its current account, platform, market, pricing, entity, country-restriction and risk pages match the reader's needs. For Cayman legacy searches, this is the current brand to evaluate.
Do not revive the failed UK firm
City Credit Capital (UK) Ltd is a separate stale topic for comparison-page purposes. FSCS lists the UK firm as failed and Companies House lists it in liquidation, so it should not be presented as an active broker.

| Category | SmartProfitFX powered by Eightcap | Alchemy Markets |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Eligible non-U.S. traders who want the SmartProfitFX account setup powered by Eightcap, including Eightcap-powered platform, market, funding and support context plus the $1 lower round-trip commission versus opening directly with Eightcap. | Readers looking for Alchemy Markets, CCCapital, City Credit Capital Cayman or City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited should land on the current Alchemy Markets page and then verify the live account-opening entity. |
| Account setup | SmartProfitFX is an account-opening option powered by Eightcap, not the regulated broker. The account relationship depends on current Eightcap documents and eligibility rules. | Alchemy Markets Cayman has reachable current account pages, including /accounts/ and /accounts/vip/. Do not infer eligibility or professional/VIP status without checking the live signup route. |
| Pricing and spreads | The SmartProfitFX pricing point is the $1 lower round-trip commission versus opening directly with Eightcap where the account type and region support that comparison. | Alchemy's current pages discuss CFD trading conditions and account-level pricing context, but spreads, commissions, financing, product fees and minimum deposits need a live source check before use. |
| Platforms | SmartProfitFX users should verify current Eightcap-powered platform availability, including MetaTrader and TradingView-style workflows where available. | Alchemy Markets Cayman has a reachable current MetaTrader platform route. Avoid stale download or platform statements from older Alchemy or CCC pages unless the exact current source has been rechecked. |
| Markets | Eightcap states broad CFD market access; eligible SmartProfitFX users should confirm the live Eightcap-powered market list for their account and region. | Alchemy Markets Cayman describes Forex, stocks, indices, metals, crypto and other CFD markets. Treat the market list, leverage and product availability as date-checked facts, not permanent coverage. |
| Entity and regulation | SmartProfitFX should not be presented as the regulated broker; check the applicable Eightcap entity and legal documents. | Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd is listed by CIMA under licence 1612590 and by GLEIF as active. The global site also references Seychelles FSA SD136 and Malta MFSA IS/56519, so the exact account-opening entity matters. |
| Old names and duplicates | SmartProfitFX branding should stay separate from broker aliases and old-name broker discovery records. | Use Alchemy Markets as the current broker name. Keep CCCapital, City Credit Capital Cayman and City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited on the page as alternate names, but suppress standalone CCCapital and City Credit Capital UK pages. |
| Eligibility and risk | SmartProfitFX eligibility follows current SmartProfitFX and Eightcap restrictions, including non-U.S. availability limits. | Alchemy Markets Cayman says it does not provide services or accounts for residents of certain jurisdictions including the European Union, the United States, Ukraine and Russia. Its risk wording says leveraged CFDs and spread betting are high risk and losses can exceed initial investment. |
Alchemy Markets source-checked research brief
The notes below use current primary sources for Alchemy Markets plus regulator and official registry sources for the old CCCapital and City Credit Capital name trail.
Current name and old-name continuity
- Use Alchemy Markets as the current listed broker name.
- The old https://www.cccapital.ky/ domain redirects to https://alchemymarkets.ky/.
- GLEIF LEI 213800CPPJQ27GIQO593 lists Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd. as active and City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited as a previous legal name.
- CIMA's official securities investment business licensee list for 31 December 2025 lists licence 1612590 for Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd.
- For SEO, mention CCCapital, City Credit Capital Cayman and City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited as old names on this Alchemy page rather than building a separate stale page.
Account and pricing checks
- The current Cayman site has reachable account pages under /accounts/ and /accounts/vip/.
- The Cayman homepage and account pages describe account-level trading conditions, but pricing and fees should be rechecked before a reader opens or funds an account.
- The SmartProfitFX side remains the Eightcap-powered setup with the $1 lower round-trip commission point where applicable.
- Do not infer jurisdiction availability, deposit eligibility or account tier eligibility from the comparison page alone.
Platforms and CFD markets
- The current Cayman site has a reachable MetaTrader platform route.
- The Cayman homepage and markets route describe Forex, stocks, indices, metals, crypto and other CFD markets.
- Product availability, leverage, crypto CFD access and platform downloads can change, so keep statements tied to current Alchemy URLs.
- This page should avoid stale route details from older hyphenated Alchemy pages unless a future pass refreshes those exact sources.
Regulation, restrictions and risk wording
- Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Limited says it is authorised and regulated by CIMA under licence 1612590.
- The global Alchemy site also references Seychelles FSA licence SD136 for Alchemy International Ltd and Malta MFSA licence IS/56519 for Alchemy Markets Ltd.
- Because more than one legal reference appears across current official pages, readers should verify the live account-opening entity before funding.
- The Cayman site excludes residents of certain jurisdictions including the European Union, the United States, Ukraine and Russia.
- Alchemy's current risk wording says leveraged CFDs and spread betting carry a high level of risk and that losses can exceed initial investment.
Why there should not be a separate CCCapital page
- CCCapital is not ready as a standalone active broker because the Cayman old-name path now points to Alchemy Markets.
- City Credit Capital (UK) Ltd is not an active broker candidate: FSCS says it failed on 2026-04-29 and is no longer trading.
- Companies House lists CITY CREDIT CAPITAL (UK) LIMITED, company number 04343251, with status Liquidation.
- Keep the failed UK firm as a suppression topic and keep the Cayman old name as Alchemy alias context.
Alchemy Markets caveats
These caveats keep the comparison useful without overstating what the current Alchemy, CCCapital and City Credit Capital source trail proves.
Use Alchemy Markets, not CCCapital, as the live broker name
CCCapital and City Credit Capital Cayman are useful old-name search terms, but the current Cayman broker path and regulator/registry trail point to Alchemy Markets.
Do not list City Credit Capital UK as active
The UK firm has a legacy website, but FSCS says City Credit Capital (UK) Ltd failed on 2026-04-29 and Companies House lists it in liquidation.
Match the account-opening entity
A broker brand can route clients through different legal entities. Confirm the entity, licence or registration and country restrictions in the live onboarding flow.
Leveraged CFD risk is material
Alchemy's current risk wording says leveraged CFDs and spread betting are high risk and that losses can exceed initial investment. This comparison is not personal financial advice.

FAQs
Is Alchemy Markets the current name for CCCapital?
For the Cayman old-name path, yes: https://www.cccapital.ky/ redirects to Alchemy Markets, and GLEIF lists City Credit Capital (Cayman) Limited as a previous legal name of active Alchemy Markets (Cayman) Ltd. That does not make the separate UK City Credit Capital firm active.
Should SmartProfitFX publish a separate CCCapital comparison page?
No. CCCapital should be suppressed as a standalone active broker page. The useful live page is the Alchemy Markets comparison, with CCCapital and City Credit Capital Cayman retained as alternate names.
What happened to City Credit Capital UK?
FSCS says City Credit Capital (UK) Ltd, formerly Smart Link Financial Services (UK) Ltd, failed on 2026-04-29 and is no longer trading. Companies House lists CITY CREDIT CAPITAL (UK) LIMITED in liquidation.
What is the main Alchemy Markets diligence point?
The main diligence point is to match the live account-opening entity with the official legal, eligibility and risk language, especially because current Alchemy pages reference Cayman, Seychelles and Malta legal entities.
Can U.S. traders use this page as account-opening advice?
No. SmartProfitFX eligibility follows current SmartProfitFX and Eightcap restrictions, including non-U.S. availability limits. Alchemy Markets Cayman also lists the United States among restricted jurisdictions.
