The UK crypto trade group is studying how blockchain wallet activity and off-chain trading data may help identify possible market abuse as firms prepare for a proposed UK regime.
CryptoUK, a UK crypto trade group, is reviewing wallet activity around major token announcements for possible insider trading, focusing on links between blockchain records and trading data.
The review examines whether token accumulation ahead of announcements, considered alongside off-chain trading patterns, can help flag potential market abuse. The work comes as UK firms prepare for the proposed Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets, a framework intended to strengthen market integrity and investor protection by addressing how firms identify and respond to abusive conduct.
CryptoUK has previously said surveillance systems need reliable trading data and expert analysis to detect suspicious activity and maintain clear audit trails, as outlined in its discussion of UK crypto surveillance.
