Cross-market surveillance involves monitoring trading activities across multiple financial markets to detect manipulation and illicit behavior. This practice aims to identify suspicious patterns that span different exchanges, asset classes, or jurisdictions, including both traditional and digital asset markets. It helps regulatory authorities and market operators maintain fair and orderly trading conditions. The objective is to protect investors and uphold market integrity by identifying abuses such as wash trading or pump-and-dump schemes.
