SEC and FINRA investigate unusual stock trading activities before the DAT announcement.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FINRA are investigating unusual trading activities that occurred just before announcements related to the Digital Asset Token (DAT). The regulatory agency is reaching out to companies whose stocks saw unusual increases prior to the announcement of the new DAT adoption.

The investigation focuses on the possibility that some investors accessed undisclosed material information to profit from early trading. Authorities are particularly interested in transactions with unusual volume or timing compared to normal market activity.

The contacted companies must provide information about any communications, decisions, or internal processes that may affect the stock price. The goal of the SEC and FINRA is to maintain transparency and fairness in the market, protect investor confidence, and ensure that all participants have equal access to public information.
