Surveillance standards are established guidelines and protocols for monitoring activities within a system or market to detect anomalies, illicit behavior, or potential risks. These standards specify the types of data to be collected, analytical methods, and reporting requirements. They are crucial for maintaining market integrity, preventing manipulation, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Robust standards promote fair and transparent operations.
Context
In digital asset markets, the implementation of robust surveillance standards is a key focus for regulators and exchanges to combat market manipulation and financial crime. News frequently reports on efforts by platforms to enhance their monitoring capabilities for suspicious trading patterns and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) rules. Discussions often center on applying traditional financial surveillance techniques to decentralized and pseudonymous blockchain environments. Developing effective standards for this evolving asset class remains an ongoing challenge.
