US DOJ Charges Two Former Exchange Engineers with Insider Trading on Listings

  • —Two charges: Commodity Exchange Act violation (up to 10 years) and electronic fraud (up to 20 years)
  • —Illegal profits for each exceeded $50,000 in 2025–2026
  • —Trades were made before listing announcements for at least 10 tokens, including ASTER, ENA, AERO
  • —Exchange internal rules prohibited trading 24 hours before and after a listing announcement
Why it matters: The precedent of extending insider trading liability to decentralized derivatives increases regulatory pressure on the market.
