A CryptoUK review is examining whether firms can combine blockchain wallet histories with off-chain trading records to detect possible market abuse around major token announcements.
Among the signals under assessment is a rise in wallet holdings before an announcement. The group is considering whether that on-chain history becomes more useful when paired with trading activity recorded outside the blockchain.
The proposed Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets is the policy backdrop. UK firms are preparing for the proposal, which aims to protect investors and support market integrity. The framework would address how companies identify and handle abusive conduct.
