Having witnessed my fair share of market manipulations and fraudulent activities, this collaboration represents a significant step towards ensuring a more secure trading environment for us all.


Europe‘s largest crypto Euro spot exchange, Bitvavo, has teamed up strategically with Nasdaq to incorporate Nasdaq’s cutting-edge Market Surveillance technology into their platform.

The system is designed to boost Bitvavo’s capacity to spot potential fraudulent actions using various warning signals, while also improving its handling of cases by utilizing Nasdaq’s advanced event analysis and report structure.

In a clear statement, Jeetan Patel, Bitvavo’s Chief Risk Officer, emphasized the significance of this collaboration. He explained that by teaming up with Nasdaq, we can utilize their established knowledge to efficiently identify, track, and lessen market manipulation risks, boost operational proficiency, and offer a safer and steadier trading experience for our customers.

As a seasoned investor with years of experience navigating various financial markets, I wholeheartedly support the EU’s upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the potential risks and uncertainties associated with the digital asset market. The introduction of uniform market rules for digital assets through MiCA will bring much-needed clarity, stability, and protection to this rapidly evolving landscape.

As a proud crypto investor, I’ve been part of the Bitvavo family since its inception in Amsterdam back in 2018. In just a few short years, this platform has soared to prominence among European cryptocurrency trading platforms, amassing over 1.5 million users like myself. The exchange offers a seamless trading and storage experience for more than 300 digital assets at competitive prices, making it an ideal choice for us enthusiasts in the crypto world.

Tony Sio, the Head of Regulatory Strategy and Innovation at Nasdaq, underscored the importance of their partnership. He stated that Nasdaq’s advanced technology, designed for handling regulatory complexities, will be beneficial in this collaboration with Bitvavo as they work together to enhance Bitvavo’s marketplace.

Having over three decades of expertise and working with more than 45 exchanges, as well as 15 global regulatory bodies, Nasdaq’s market surveillance technology is recognized worldwide for upholding market integrity. This partnership strengthens Bitvavo’s operational structure while also moving us closer to our goal of creating a secure and transparent digital asset trading environment.
