“Increasing Adoption of Blockchain Technology for Enhanced Transparency”
- Blockchain technology is gaining traction in the Middle East and Africa Trade Surveillance market, offering enhanced transparency, security, and traceability in trade transactions. The decentralized nature of blockchain helps eliminate data manipulation and fraud, improving market integrity and compliance.
- Financial institutions are exploring blockchain to streamline surveillance and ensure more reliable tracking of trading activities, reducing the risk of manipulation or illicit activities.
- For instance, in April 2025, a financial regulator in the UAE began piloting a blockchain-based trade surveillance system to improve transparency and traceability across asset classes.
- Blockchain adoption is helping to enhance surveillance system efficiency and security, providing real-time audit trails and reducing fraud in cross-border trading environments.
