CFTC Enhances Crypto Surveillance with Nasdaq Technology

BTCCSquare news:
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is adopting Nasdaq's Market Surveillance platform to bolster oversight of cryptocurrency and prediction markets. The move aims to detect fraud and manipulation more effectively, replacing outdated systems from the 1990s.
Prediction markets, though niche, function similarly to regulated derivatives, making them susceptible to the same abuses. Nasdaq's technology adapts seamlessly to these event-based markets, offering the CFTC a modernized toolkit.
This upgrade coincides with legislative discussions around the CLARITY Act and follows a White House recommendation for stricter crypto market data reporting. The CFTC's pivot reflects growing institutional scrutiny of digital asset markets.
