The Future of Market Integrity presented by FINRA
Market abuse no longer needs a person at a keyboard. Autonomous agents that learn surveillance models and trade around them, deepfaked guidance, synthetic-identity rings, and on-chain wash trading now operate across venues at machine speed, while the response is still built on subpoenas, treaties, and compliance functions bolted onto the back of the trade. This program brings together regulators, investigators, and industry leaders to examine how detection and enforcement can keep pace: moving from rules to behavior and from forensic to real-time, building AI-native compliance, and gaming out a 2030 in which both attacker and defender are autonomous and quantum computing challenges today's cryptographic assumptions.
