Deutsche Börse has expanded its market surveillance capabilities by incorporating social media intelligence into its Scila powered surveillance platform. The move reflects a growing recognition of the role social media plays in market dynamics and the risks it presents for manipulation and misinformation.

The integration, delivered through a collaboration between Scila and German analytics specialist Stockpulse.AI, brings near real-time monitoring of millions of social media posts, alongside data feeds covering more than 70,000 global equities and thousands of cryptocurrencies. The combined system gives Deutsche Börse’s surveillance team a broader perspective, correlating trading activity with social media sentiment and news buzz to identify potential irregularities faster. Andreas Mitschke, Head of Trading Surveillance at Deutsche Börse, noted that “the ability to correlate trading patterns with social media activity provides our team with crucial context for investigating potential market abuse.”

Scila’s chief executive, Mikko Andersson, described the development as “a natural evolution in market oversight,” stressing the importance of combining traditional market data analysis with social intelligence to deliver a fuller picture of risks. The company sees the joint offering as an additional layer of defence for exchanges and regulators seeking to keep pace with the speed of information flows across digital platforms.

For Stockpulse, the collaboration highlights the value of applying artificial intelligence to large-scale, unstructured data. “Our advanced algorithms and AI applications analyse millions of social media posts and news articles in near real-time, providing actionable intelligence that helps surveillance teams identify unusual patterns and potential market manipulation,” said CEO Dr. Stefan Nann.

By adopting this solution, Deutsche Börse becomes the first major exchange to embed social media intelligence directly into its surveillance workflows. The enhancement is intended to improve efficiency, provide earlier detection of suspicious behaviour, and ultimately strengthen market integrity. The same integrated capabilities are now available to other Scila Surveillance clients, with options for tailoring to specific regulatory or operational needs.
