New CFTC–Nasdaq Technology Aims to Strengthen Oversight of Digital Asset Trading

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has partnered with Nasdaq to launch a new surveillance platform aimed at strengthening oversight of digital asset markets.
The upgrade replaces the agency’s decades-old system and introduces automated alerts, cross-market analytics, and detailed transaction monitoring to detect fraud, manipulation, and unusual trading activity. Acting Chairman Caroline Pham said the move is part of a broader effort to modernize the CFTC into a 21st-century regulator.
Nasdaq’s market surveillance technology, already used by 50 exchanges and 20 international regulators, will help the CFTC improve efficiency and safeguard market integrity.
