Solidus Labs Unveils Agentic-Based Compliance: A New Model for Trade Surveillance Operations

New York, United States:
Solidus Labs , the category-definer in trade surveillance and risk monitoring for digital and traditional asset classes, today announced the launch of Agentic-Based Compliance, a groundbreaking model for surveillance operations that leverages a network of AI agents to deliver exponential efficiency, precision, and intelligence across the entire trade surveillance and transaction monitoring investigation lifecycle.
Legacy compliance solutions have failed to keep up with the rapid modernization and growing complexity of global markets. Compliance teams are forced to work with a patchwork of disconnected and expensive tools that fail to deliver results efficiently. According to McKinsey , compliance analysts spend 80% of their time on low or moderate-risk issues, often repetitively resolving false positives or performing menial work. This inefficiency extends to market abuse detection: Despite the enormous resources and efforts invested in compliance technology, firms continue to face enforcement actions for missed manipulation. Research shows that market abuse like insider trading occurs in 20% of mergers and acquisitions and 5% of quarterly earnings announcements in U.S. markets. More broadly, only 4% of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) lead to law enforcement investigations. This isn't a failure of effort – it's a failure of architecture.
Built on Solidus' proprietary platform, HALO, Agentic-Based Compliance reimagines how financial institutions detect, investigate, and resolve market abuse risks. It replaces legacy systems and siloed workflows with a unified, intelligence-led architecture powered by autonomous AI agents that augment human analysts and operate across a multi-dimensional risk environment.
'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,' said Asaf Meir, Founder and Chief Executive of Solidus Labs. '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.'
HALO embeds a fleet of purpose-built AI agents, each designed to streamline a specific stage of the compliance investigation lifecycle — from signal enrichment and alert remediation to model testing, OSINT intelligence feeds, case management, and regulatory reporting.
Born in crypto's highly fragmented and complex environment, Solidus' Agentic-Based Compliance is future-proof by design for all asset classes, leading to 20X faster investigations and saving compliance analysts as much as 5 hours of menial work per day. Like all Solidus Labs' solutions, it was developed in tandem with regulatory feedback – aligning with the current and evolving demands of modern financial markets, including the imperatives of market abuse regulations in the U.S., EU, and other leading jurisdictions.
Poised to power the next generation of surveillance operations, Solidus' Agentic-Based Compliance is already gaining traction among forward-looking financial firms seeking to modernize their compliance capabilities and reduce operational strain.

From Waste to Strategic Metals: Circular Materials Achieves First Industrial-Scale Recoveries Under the Critical Raw Materials Act

PADUA, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circular Materials announces two major milestones under the Critical Raw Materials Act: the recovery from industrial wastewater of the first kilogram of ruthenium and the first ton of nickel, preventing the release of heavy metals into the environment. These results were secured through strong collaborations with two leading companies in surface treatments: LEM, core company of the LEM INDUSTRIES Group, specialized in the luxury sector, and Argos Surface Technologies Group, a leader in industrial coatings. We recover what the world needs most: Circular Materials delivers first industrial-scale metal recoveries. This success comes just a few months after the European Commission recognized Recover-IT as a strategic project, confirming the pivotal role of Circular Materials in securing critical raw material supplies, increasing recycling, and reducing the EU's dependence on imports. Ruthenium and Nickel: crucial metals for a sustainable future Ruthenium, a noble metal from the platinum group, is essential for cutting-edge sectors such as advanced electronics, green hydrogen production, fine chemicals, fuel cells, and luxury goods. Nickel, on the other hand, is a critical element, essential in advanced steels and lithium batteries —pillars of the energy transition. Circular Materials' proprietary SWaP (Supercritical Water Precipitation) technology delivers exceptional effectiveness and versatility to recover precious and industrially intensive metals. A revolutionary environmental impact: carbon negative and beyond Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the process applied to ruthenium and nickel reveals a remarkable environmental benefit. For ruthenium, emissions are reduced by over 99.6% compared to traditional mining. Even more impressive is the result for nickel: the SWaP process not only reduces emissions but becomes carbon negative, actively avoiding the total CO₂ production associated with conventional methods. ' Circular Materials strengthens its technological leadership and, together with its partners, builds a solid and integrated circular supply chain capable of transforming industrial waste into new resources, preventing the loss of critical materials,' says Marco Bersani, Founder & CEO of Circular Materials. ' With the industrial-scale recovery of ruthenium and nickel, we are shaping a strategy that reduces dependence on external sources, lowers the environmental impact of production processes, and valorizes waste streams that until now have been dispersed '. In a global context marked by the impacting scarcity of critical resources and the need to ensure a secure and sustainable supply, Circular Materials stands out as a key player in a new European industrial paradigm focused on recovering the resources the world needs most. About Us: Circular Materials Circular Materials is a groundbreaking company with proprietary technology for the recovery of strategic metals from industrial wastewater through a sustainable and highly efficient process. The company has developed and patented the Supercritical Water Precipitation (SWaP) technology, which simultaneously treats wastewater and recovers metal, eliminating toxic sludge production and significantly reducing environmental impact, both in terms of waste and emissions.
