Market integrity controls are a set of rules, systems, and procedures designed to ensure fair, transparent, and orderly operation within financial markets, including those for digital assets. These controls aim to prevent market manipulation, fraud, insider trading, and other illicit activities that could undermine investor confidence. They typically involve surveillance, reporting requirements, and enforcement actions by regulatory authorities and exchanges. Maintaining market integrity is paramount for fostering trust and stability in digital asset trading environments.
Context
Regulatory news and discussions in the digital asset sector frequently center on the implementation and effectiveness of market integrity controls. There is an ongoing push from global regulators to extend traditional financial market safeguards to cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms. Debates often concern the appropriate level of oversight and the technological challenges of applying such controls to decentralized markets. Strengthening these controls is viewed as essential for mainstream institutional participation.
The FCA's policy pivot requires cETN issuers and UK-recognized exchanges to immediately update product disclosure and market surveillance controls to manage retail risk.
