DIGITAL ASSET MARKET SURVEILLANCE – ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE, PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

We help market makers, brokers, banks, crypto exchanges, and regulated trading venues monitor trading activity, identify market abuse, and meet compliance obligations across digital asset markets. With visibility across internal, external, CeFi, and DeFi activity, teams can detect suspicious behaviour and investigate potential manipulation with greater confidence.

  • Meet regulatory requirements
    Support compliance with requirements under MiCA, MiFID II, VARA, IOSCO Principles, and exchange membership rules.

  • Monitor activity in real time
    Identify potential manipulation, spoofing, front-running, layering, and wash trading as activity occurs.

  • See the market in context
     Compare internal and external activity against market-wide trading, pricing, and liquidity data across venues.
