New York-based crypto surveillance firm Solidus Labs is teaming up with leading digital asset exchanges, trading firms and industry associations to launch a new crypto market safety initiative.
In a statement, the Crypto Market Integrity Coalition (CMIC) outlines how it will make the crypto market a safer space amid the emergence of new risks.
“The market integrity pledge introduced by the coalition is focused on a commitment to continuously strive towards higher standards of market integrity, risk monitoring, consumer protection and compliance, in order to maintain fair and orderly digital asset markets and prevent market abuse. “
The initiative also wants to engage with regulators to address the challenges in the industry.
“Over time, the coalition will take further steps, including advancing training programs, sharing insights and research, dialoguing with regulators, and considering data-sharing and shared-surveillance frameworks that can address crypto and decentralized finance’s unique cross-market supervision challenges.”
Solidus Labs initiated the formation of the group and co-founded the coalition with 16 other industry leaders, namely Coinbase, Circle Internet Financial, GSR, Huobi Tech, Anchorage Digital, CrossTower, BitMex, Bitstamp, Securrency, Elwood Technologies, CryptoCompare, MV Index Solutions, Global Digital Finance, the Chamber of Digital Commerce, CryptoUK, and Liberty City Ventures.
The CMIC says it is inviting other members of the crypto community to join the coalition.
