Insider trading in the context of digital assets involves using non-public, material information about a cryptocurrency or a related project to gain an unfair advantage in trading. This illicit practice distorts market fairness and undermines investor confidence. It is prohibited in traditional financial markets and increasingly scrutinized in crypto.
Context
News frequently reports on allegations and investigations of insider trading within cryptocurrency exchanges, project teams, or NFT markets. These incidents often lead to significant price volatility and regulatory enforcement actions. The lack of clear regulations in some jurisdictions makes prosecuting insider trading in crypto a complex legal challenge, driving calls for clearer market surveillance.
Regulators are probing unusual stock movements that occurred before companies revealed plans to add crypto to their balance sheets, signaling a focus on fair disclosure.
