On 27th August 2025, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it has enhanced its market surveillance and fraud detection capabilities by deploying Nasdaq’s industry-leading suite of surveillance technology. As the CFTC embraces an expanding regulatory remit, Nasdaq’s Market Surveillance platform will support the agency’s mission to promote market integrity.
The CFTC is responsible for overseeing a wide array of dynamic and growing derivatives markets ranging from fixed income, commodities and currencies, crypto assets, and event-based markets. 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. Nasdaq’s platform enables integrated monitoring across CFTC markets and provides resilient and scalable surveillance capabilities to maintain the integrity of derivative markets.
The Nasdaq platform enables regulators globally to identify potential manipulation patterns spanning multiple asset classes, conduct detailed transaction-level analysis, and generate automated alerts across products and trading venues. The platform’s flexible architecture delivers a unified view of market activity with granular data insights and the ability to scale rapidly through periods of heightened volume and volatility. This includes access to comprehensive order book data to support real-time analysis and decision-making, which is a critical frontier to prevent and detect market abuse across both traditional and crypto asset markets.
