ZachXBT Teases Insider Trading Investigation Controversy: Potential Unintended Impact on Market Predictions

BlockBeats News, February 25th, on-chain detective ZachXBT recently teased an upcoming insider trading investigation report, sparking widespread community discussion. Crypto commentator Bold pointed out that the "most exciting part" of this move is that the subject of the investigation, upon learning they have been discovered, could theoretically use this information to position themselves early in the prediction market, thus forming a new form of "insider trading."

In response, ZachXBT stated that due to the multi-party nature of the case interviews, information leakage is "potentially unavoidable." Regarding why he provided an advance notice, he mentioned that the significance of predicting markets in the past was not as high as it is now, and no advance notice post had previously achieved the spreading effect of over 8 million views and 27,000 likes.

This event once again highlights the tension between crypto investigation transparency and market gaming. Against the backdrop of an increasingly active prediction market, the pace of information disclosure itself may also become a price variable.
