- On July 26, the SEC approved new AI-related rules aimed at broker-dealers.
- This move comes amid growing use of artificial intelligence across many sectors of the global economy.
- What does this mean for AltSignals, the trading firm behind the upcoming ActualizeAI?
Regulation remains a major factor shaping the adoption and growth of cryptocurrency, as demonstrated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recent actions against crypto exchanges. Days after suffering a setback in its case against Ripple over XRP, the SEC moved to approve new rules addressing potential conflicts of interest as broker platforms increasingly deploy AI. What do these changes mean, and how might they affect AltSignals?
What the SEC’s new rules say about brokers’ AI use
Brokers—platforms that facilitate crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat trades—often rely on optimization technologies. The SEC is proposing rule changes governing these “optimization features,” including restrictions intended to prevent brokers from exploiting AI or data-analytics tools for their own advantage.
According to a fact sheet the agency released on July 26, the use of technologies such as algorithms and predictive models can create potential conflicts of interest. The SEC highlights situations where broker-dealers use these tools to drive investor engagement and then leverage that engagement for their own benefit—circumstances that can present conflicts.
The proposed changes apply to crypto transactions involving broker-dealers registered with the securities regulator and will move to a final vote after a 60-day public comment period. The SEC also acknowledged that, at present, no crypto venue is properly registered as a national securities exchange.
Is this good news for AI-driven crypto trading platforms like Fetch.ai and AltSignals? It’s still early in the regulatory process for AI, and the full impact remains uncertain. Greater clarity around AI and crypto rules, however, could ultimately drive a wider wave of adoption that benefits firms such as AltSignals.
Recent efforts such as the European Union’s AI Act and parallel initiatives in the United States have prompted major AI players—Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, and Meta among them—to pursue safety measures that align their operations with consumer-protection regulations.
What is AltSignals?
AltSignals is a trading platform that provides traders with market signals. Since its launch in 2017, the platform has seen increasing adoption across market segments. The firm is now enhancing its proprietary trading algorithm by integrating blockchain technology and an AI-driven layer.
That new AI-driven product, ActualizeAI, will be powered by a crypto token called ASI. AltSignals is currently offering the token to early backers of its AI layer; the presale is in its second phase and has raised more than $1.21 million to date.
Opportunities for investors using ActualizeAI and ASI
AltSignals’ existing AltAlgo algorithm delivers trading signals with win rates around 64%. The forthcoming AI-enhanced layer, ActualizeAI, aims to increase those metrics substantially.
AltSignals’ whitepaper describes additions such as machine learning and natural language processing that could raise the platform’s average accuracy to roughly 80% across buy and sell signals. With real-time access and automation, ActualizeAI has the potential to transform traders’ workflows and outcomes across the industry.
Holdings of ASI will grant exclusive access to AltSignals’ AI platform when it launches. Token holders may also stake tokens or participate in product development programs to earn additional rewards.
Experienced investors can pursue a more passive income stream by holding 50,000 tokens. According to AltSignals’ website, this level not only provides unlimited access to ActualizeAI but also allows holders to mint an “Access AI Pass.”
That membership enables participants to earn passive revenue through a revenue-sharing model tied to products released within the ActualizeAI ecosystem.
