misconduct

As of February 26, 2026, on-chain investigator ZachXBT has released a major report alleging systematic insider trading and data abuse by employees at the cryptocurrency exchange Axiom. The investigation claims that since early 2025, employees exploited internal tools to track private user wallets and profit from non-public trading information. 

Key Findings of the Investigation
The Lead Suspect: The report specifically names Broox Bauer, a New York-based senior business development employee at Axiom.
Methodology of Abuse: Employees allegedly used internal customer support dashboards to access sensitive details including complete wallet lists, transaction histories, and linked accounts.
Recorded Evidence: An audio clip released with the report features a person (allegedly Bauer) boasting they could track "any Axiom user" and described researching wallets "slowly" to avoid suspicion from security systems.
Targeting Influencers: The investigation alleges the group maintained a Google Sheet of wallet addresses belonging to "Key Opinion Leaders" (KOLs) to monitor their accumulation patterns before token surges.
Financial Impact: One scheme reportedly aimed to generate $200,000 in rapid profits for an accomplice by leveraging these internal lookups. 

Axiom's Response and Status
In an official statement on February 26, 2026, Axiom co-founders (Mist and Cal) stated they were "shocked and disappointed" and have taken the following immediate actions:
Revoked access to all internal customer support tools involved in the breach.
Launched a formal internal investigation to hold offending parties accountable.
Pledged to share further updates via their official social media channels. 

Market and Legal Context
Prediction Market Volatility: Prior to the reveal, over $38 million was wagered on Polymarket regarding which company ZachXBT would expose, with Axiom's odds surging to 35% just hours before the report.
Potential Prosecution: ZachXBT noted that because key personnel are based in New York, the matter may fall under the jurisdiction of the SDNY (U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York) for criminal prosecution.
Axiom Financials: Before this scandal, Axiom was considered one of the most profitable firms in the space, reportedly generating over $390 million in revenue since its 2024 launch.
