CFTC to Surveil Crypto, Prediction Markets Using Nasdaq Platform

In brief

  • The CFTC will start using Nasdaq’s Market Surveillance platform to enhance its ability to detect fraud and market manipulation in crypto and production markets.
  • The shift comes as lawmakers mull the CLARITY Act.
  • A White House report recently recommended that the CFTC impose requirements on reporting market data for certain crypto firms.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is stepping up efforts to surveil financial markets, tapping technology from Nasdaq to gain a more granular view of crypto transactions, according to a press release published by the regulator on Wednesday.

Nasdaq’s Market Surveillance platform, which covers a dozen asset classes, including digital assets and prediction markets, represents a significant upgrade, the CFTC said, as it moves to replace its “‘90s-era legacy system” for detecting illicit behavior among market participants.

Prediction markets have been buzzy, with the president’s son joining Polymarket’s advisory board on Tuesday.

Still, a Nasdaq spokesperson told Decrypt that prediction markets mirror derivatives that the CFTC has regulated since the agency was established in 1974.

“Prediction markets operate in the same way as most derivative markets, with similar potential for market abuse and manipulation,” the spokesperson said. “The technology can therefore be adapted to serve almost all forms of event-based markets.”

At the same time, the CFTC acknowledged that markets have changed rapidly in recent years, with digital infrastructure providing round-the-clock trading.

“The growth in both traditional and new markets and products, combined with innovations in market structure, such as the launch of continuous trading hours, require increasingly sophisticated tools to prevent and detect potential market abuse,” the CFTC said.

The shift also comes as U.S. lawmakers mull the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive piece of crypto legislation that would establish jurisdiction between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the CFTC. 

The bill was passed in the U.S. House of Representatives last month, and under its current text, most cryptocurrencies would fall under the classification of a commodity, as opposed to a security, removing them from the SEC’s regulatory remit.

The CFTC noted that Nasdaq’s Market Surveillance platform is already used by 50 exchanges, as well as nearly two dozen international regulators. A regulatory guide for crypto that was recently released by Nasdaq notes that the CFTC has been “exploring blockchain technology applications to strengthen regulatory surveillance capabilities.”

The Commission said it’s in the midst of a “crypto sprint,” moving quickly to implement recommendations from a sweeping White House crypto report released recently, which may end up putting new obligations on the intermediaries that it covers.

The 166-page report recommended that “venues for non-security digital assets should be required to report market data, subject to reporting obligations established by the CFTC,” such as crypto exchanges and prediction markets.

The leading prediction market, Polymarket, recently acquired a CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange for $112 million, as it eyes a return to the U.S.

The Nasdaq spokesperson told Decrypt that the technology underpinning its platform “can be adapted for use cases across all crypto markets.” The “demand for institutional grade surveillance capabilities” has increased as the crypto market matures,” they added.

CORRECTION (August 27, 2025, 3:53 p.m.): Removes attribution from a characterization of prediction markets in paragraph three.

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

The post Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…

Federal Reserve expected to slash rates today, here's how it may impact crypto

                                                                               Market participants are eagerly anticipating at least a 25 basis point (BPS) interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday.                     The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.  “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
