Digital asset market surveillance involves monitoring trading activities and data across cryptocurrency exchanges to detect and prevent illicit behaviors. This practice includes analyzing transaction patterns, order book movements, and other market indicators to identify potential market manipulation, fraud, or other violations of trading rules. The objective is to maintain fair and orderly markets, protecting investors and ensuring the integrity of digital asset trading venues. Effective surveillance systems utilize advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to process vast amounts of data in real-time.
Context
The implementation of robust digital asset market surveillance systems is a critical regulatory and operational priority for exchanges and financial authorities worldwide. Key debates concern the scope of surveillance, the appropriate balance between regulatory oversight and market innovation, and the jurisdictional challenges of monitoring a global, decentralized asset class. Ongoing efforts focus on developing more sophisticated cross-market surveillance tools and international cooperation frameworks.
