How Do Surveillance Systems on CEXs Enforce MAR Principles?
Centralized exchanges use sophisticated trading surveillance systems that monitor real-time trading data for patterns indicative of market abuse. These systems employ algorithms to detect activities like wash trading, spoofing, and front-running by analyzing order book changes, trade volumes, and user activity.
When a suspicious pattern is flagged, the exchange's compliance team investigates and may report the activity to regulators, thus enforcing the principles of fair trading required by MAR.
