The crypto market would benefit massively if regulators actually cracked down on insider trading. Right now, it's almost too easy for connected players to frontrun retail traders. Wonder if policymakers ever realize how much institutional front-running undermines market integrity—especially in DeFi where everything's transparent yet somehow still prone to manipulation.

Regulation is fundamentally useless. How could wealthy people possibly regulate themselves? Is DeFi transparent? Haha, that's all just an illusion.

NGL, this is the dark side of crypto. Big players openly engage in frontrunning, and retail investors are cut into chives while having to watch the show obediently. DeFi claims to be highly transparent, but in reality, MEV bots are faster than anyone... Policy makers probably haven't even heard of Mempool.

ngl, to be honest, it's just big players exploiting the system... DeFi claims to be transparent but is actually more of a black box. You can check on the chain and get accurate info, but when it comes to actual operations, you're still getting caught in the tricks and losing.

It's all a load of nonsense. DeFi is basically a hunting ground for big players, and the rules are virtually meaningless...

On-chain data shows that this wave of MEV arbitrage opportunities is indeed outrageous, but who can compete with bots for order execution? Anyway, I've come to terms with it [dog head]

The domestic market is beyond saving; institutions have long since wiped out retail investors.

well *actually* if you've read the mempool architecture, frontrunning isn't a regulation problem—it's a fundamental cryptography issue. validators literally control ordering. show me the formal proof that sec enforcement fixes stake centralization lol
