- Solidus Labs has launched what it described as a new model for financial market compliance operations, introducing Agentic-Based Compliance.
The company said this system replaces legacy surveillance frameworks with a network of autonomous AI agents that operate across the full transaction monitoring and trade surveillance lifecycle.
Agentic-Based Compliance is Critical for 24/7 Off-Platform Trading
Asaf Meir, Founder and Chief Executive of Solidus Labs, commented: “Agentic-Based Compliance is the only way compliance teams can stay ahead of emerging complexities like 24/7 off-platform trading, enhanced retail participation and the heightened risks they carry for cyber-enhanced financial crimes and cross-product and cross-market manipulation. Our vision is simple: Compliance operations should be as scalable, intelligent, and efficient as the markets they’re designed to protect. Solidus’ Agentic-Based Compliance delivers just that, solving for tech sprawl, alert fatigue, talent shortage and surveillance blind spots that cost firms thousands of hours and can reach billions of dollars in losses and fines.”
According to Solidus, traditional compliance models remain heavily reliant on disconnected tools that do not scale with the pace of market evolution. The company cited data suggesting that compliance analysts currently spend 80 percent of their time on low or moderate-risk issues, while enforcement outcomes remain limited. Only 4 percent of Suspicious Activity Reports reportedly lead to law enforcement investigations, and insider trading still occurs in 20 percent of M&A events.
Built on the HALO platform, the system embeds a suite of AI agents engineered to optimize key steps in the compliance process. Tasks include signal enrichment, alert handling, model validation, integration of open-source intelligence, case processing, and regulatory reporting. Solidus claims these agents can reduce daily manual work by up to five hours per analyst and accelerate investigations by a factor of 20.
Solidus said its architecture is purpose-built to address the fragmented nature of crypto markets and is adaptable to all asset classes. Agentic-Based Compliance is designed to align with current market abuse regulations across major jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union.
The firm noted that feedback from regulators was integrated during development and that adoption has already begun among financial institutions aiming to upgrade their surveillance operations and improve productivity.
Founded in 2018 by former Goldman Sachs employees, Solidus Labs positions itself as a provider of AI-driven compliance infrastructure for both traditional and digital asset markets. HALO, the core of its offerings, supports proactive risk management across products, venues, and jurisdictions.
