Crypto markets are becoming faster, more fragmented and increasingly automated. But as AI agents, prediction markets and autonomous trading systems grow, a major question is emerging: Who is watching the market manipulators? From spoofing and wash trading to insider trading in prediction markets, the next generation of financial crime may look very different from what regulators and compliance teams are used to. In this episode, we discuss: - Why market manipulation in crypto is becoming harder to detect - How spoofing and layering evolved across exchanges and blockchains - Why prediction markets create entirely new compliance risks - The growing role of AI agents in autonomous trading - How bad actors coordinate across platforms, wallets and social networks - Why regulators are focusing heavily on insider trading in prediction markets - The challenge of monitoring cross-chain and cross-platform activity - Why legacy compliance systems are struggling with alert fatigue - How AI-powered compliance agents may become the future of surveillance - The balance between innovation, regulation and consumer protection - Why the future of finance is increasingly moving on-chain As crypto, prediction markets and AI converge, the attack surface for fraud and manipulation is expanding rapidly. This conversation explores what the next era of market surveillance and crypto compliance may look like.
