No halt or suspension criteria
NoteMarket integrityRevised
Definition
Written to be quoted. This is the sentence to cite when a counterparty disagrees, not the sentence the tool shows you.
The text states no basis for halting or suspending trading if the underlying event becomes contested or the resolution source stops publishing mid-market. Silence here is common and is not always a defect — venue policy may already cover it.
Remedy
Confirm the venue policy that applies, or state the halt criteria in the contract.
Severity
Note — worth confirming
Where it comes from
Which manipulations are structural?
Thin-book distortion, resolution-source attack, wash and cross patterns, and information advantage — separated into what surveillance can catch and what only design can prevent.
