If crypto trading relies on wash transactions with little regulation—unlike the stock market—could potential commodity oversight harm prices, and is this practice verifiable?
Regulatory oversight in the crypto market is a double-edged sword. While tighter controls may reduce manipulative activities such as wash trading, they could also introduce unintended market distortions. In my experience, clearer guidelines and enhanced monitoring have led to increased investor confidence, but the implementation is key. Blockchain technology provides considerable transparency, making it technically feasible to verify trade patterns. Regulatory measures should therefore strike a balance, ensuring consumer protection without stifling innovation or liquidity in a still-evolving market.
