On October 18, 2025, Nasdaq, Inc. announced the launch of advanced AI capabilities within its market surveillance platform. The company completed a pilot that embedded AI at every stage of a market abuse investigation, from anomaly detection to regulatory enforcement. The enhancements are designed to help financial institutions and regulators identify suspicious activity more efficiently.
The pilot, conducted in partnership with the Saudi Arabian Capital Market Authority, identified 80% of pump‑and‑dump schemes in a historical sample set, outperforming traditional detection methods. The AI system leverages extensive industry and internal data sets to provide comprehensive activity assessments and predictive analytics. The platform is already used by 50 exchanges and 20 international regulators.
Nasdaq plans to roll out the AI‑enhanced surveillance platform to all customers beginning in Q4 2025. The technology serves 97% of globally systematically important banks, half of the world’s top 25 stock exchanges, 35 central banks, and over 3,800 clients. By expanding its surveillance offering, Nasdaq strengthens its position as a leading provider of market integrity solutions.
The deployment of AI‑driven surveillance tools positions Nasdaq to capture new revenue streams from enhanced compliance services and reinforces its competitive moat in the financial technology space. The initiative aligns with Nasdaq’s broader strategy of integrating AI across its product portfolio to deliver measurable operational efficiencies for clients. The announcement signals Nasdaq’s continued commitment to safeguarding market integrity while driving innovation.
