Countering the Threat
The importance of maintaining market integrity
Manipulation undermines the fairness and efficiency of cryptocurrency markets. All participants should have an equal opportunity to participate, and if they do not trust the prices, they will not trade causing investors and an array of other stakeholders to suffer.
Top 3 Behaviors to Monitor in Cryptocurrency Exchanges
Wash Trading
When a trader excessively buys and sells securities in order to feed misleading information into the market and generate false volumes. Often focused on instruments that are traded less or by smaller trading platforms looking to attract attention.
Layering & Spoofing
When a trader places orders to give misleading indication of supply and demand, with no intention of trading.
Pump & Dump
When a trader attempts to increase the price through buying activity or misleading information. Normally the trader has an existing position which they sell at the higher price.
Cryptocurrency Regulation Around the World
Cryptocurrencies are maturing and becoming more mainstream. Trading has become faster, volumes have grown, and volatility is excessive at times. Regulators do not want to stunt innovation, and some recognize that cryptocurrencies could play a role in economic development. To this end, they have been working diligently over the last few years to create a legal framework that is modern and accommodative but also prudent.
