The platform will enhance Bitvavo’s ability to identify suspicious activities through a range of alerts and optimize its case management with Nasdaq’s sophisticated event analysis and reporting framework.&nbsp; 
Jeetan Patel, Chief Risk Officer at Bitvavo, <a href="https://bitvavo.com/en/blog/nasdaq-market-surveillance-integration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted</a> the importance of this partnership, stating, “Partnering with Nasdaq allows us to leverage their proven expertise to effectively detect, monitor, and mitigate market abuse risks, enhance operational efficiency, and provide a more secure and stable trading environment for our clients.” 
This move also aligns with the EU’s upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which aims to introduce uniform market rules for digital assets. MiCA is designed to bolster market integrity and protect consumers by imposing stringent requirements on exchanges to detect and report market abuse.&nbsp; 
Founded in Amsterdam in 2018, Bitvavo has rapidly grown to become a leading European cryptocurrency trading platform, boasting over 1.5 million users. The exchange provides a user-friendly platform where clients can trade and store more than 300 digital assets at competitive rates.&nbsp;

With over 30 years of experience and serving more than 45 exchanges and 15 international regulators, Nasdaq’s market surveillance technology stands as a global benchmark for maintaining marketplace integrity. This collaboration not only fortifies Bitvavo’s operational framework but also contributes to the broader goal of achieving a secure and transparent digital asset market.
