Perhaps, though insider trading rules are pretty hard to enforce inside relatively confined and regulated realms.

One solution is to go a step up the meta. Ban trading for certain groups or classes, like banning parliamentarians and government officials. ..but spouses, kids, friends and cousins make for a pretty substantial loophole.

That said, not regulating against insider trading bleeds very quickly into market manipulation and corruption.

Not sure what the ansers are. This is a very dirty part of the game game. Crypto brings in a new set of players, and it takes years before they'll learn to do this in a way that maintains a stable plausible legitimacy.

We absolutely cannot have second tier people insider trading and rigging markets. It's antistabalizing.




Musk can move markets with a tweet. I doubt there is anything anyone can do about that. And he knows it. And I'm sure he benefits from it too.
