CFTC Enhances Crypto Oversight with Nasdaq Surveillance Tech

Reading Time: < 1 minute

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will integrate Nasdaq’s market surveillance technology to bolster its oversight of the digital asset space.

The system is designed to detect market manipulation, fraud, and abuse through automated alerts and cross-market analytics.

The move comes as the agency prepares for a potential expansion of its regulatory authority, pending legislation in Congress.

Acting Chairman Caroline Pham stated the adoption is critical for the CFTC to “stay ahead of the curve” as markets evolve. This initiative follows the recent launch of the agency’s “Crypto Sprint” program focused on futures trading.
