Market Manipulation Controls

Definition

Market manipulation controls are regulatory and technological measures implemented to detect, deter, and prevent artificial influencing of asset prices or trading volumes. In digital asset markets, these controls include surveillance systems, trade monitoring, and enforcement actions against activities such as wash trading, spoofing, or pump-and-dump schemes. Their purpose is to ensure fair and orderly markets, protecting investors from unfair practices. These measures are vital for maintaining market integrity and investor confidence.
