Market Integrity Standards
Market integrity standards are the set of rules, codes of conduct, and technical requirements that ensure a market operates fairly and transparently. These standards cover everything from order execution to data disclosure and dispute resolution.
In the context of digital assets, they aim to bridge the gap between decentralized innovation and traditional financial expectations. Adherence to these standards is critical for gaining institutional adoption and building public trust.
They define what is considered acceptable behavior and provide a framework for enforcing accountability. Without these standards, markets risk descending into chaos and exploitation.
They are the foundation of a mature financial ecosystem.
