We haven't found a way to prevent AI-driven automated trading bots from destabilizing smaller financial markets during periods of low liquidity.

open Global / Unspecified, Global

Automated trading algorithms can sometimes trigger rapid, extreme price swings in smaller or less liquid markets, especially during unusual conditions, without any single actor intending market harm. Building safeguards against this kind of systemic risk remains incomplete.
