Deutsche integrates social media monitoring for risk detection

By Vriti Gothi

Deutsche Börse Group to enhance its digital market surveillance by integrating Stockpulse’s advanced social media monitoring capabilities into its Scila Surveillance platform, which has been operational and evolving for over a decade. This collaboration combines data analytics with AI-driven social media intelligence, providing a more comprehensive view of market activity and potential risks.

Stockpulse, a Germany-based data analytics firm, specialises in quantitative social media processing powered by Artificial Intelligence. With this integration, Deutsche Börse becomes the first major exchange to adopt an institutional-grade solution that seamlessly incorporates social media insights into surveillance for cash and derivatives markets, streamlining operations and enhancing overall efficiency.

The integrated platform equips exchanges and regulators with near real-time analysis of social media and news channels, significantly improving the detection and prevention of market manipulation and fraudulent activity linked to social platforms. The German implementation provides Deutsche Börse’s surveillance team with access to global coverage of over 70,000 equities and thousands of cryptocurrencies, delivering real-time news feeds, buzz metrics, and sentiment analysis. This intelligence layer complements traditional market surveillance data, enabling faster, more informed decision-making and proactive response to emerging market risks.

“The integration of social media monitoring into trading surveillance represents a natural evolution in market oversight,” said Mikko Andersson, CEO of Scila. “By combining leading market data analysis with social media intelligence, we provide clients with a more complete view of market dynamics and potential risks. This holistic approach is essential in today’s interconnected financial ecosystem, where information spreads instantaneously across multiple channels.”

The solution addresses the growing complexity faced by market surveillance teams, who must monitor increasingly dynamic and multi-channel information landscapes. Social media activity can significantly influence market movements, with coordinated campaigns or misinformation having the potential to impact prices and integrity.

“We’re excited to partner with Scila to bring institutional-grade social media analytics to the market surveillance community,” said Dr. Stefan Nann, CEO of Stockpulse “Our AI-driven algorithms analyse millions of social media posts and news articles in near real-time, providing actionable intelligence that helps surveillance teams detect unusual patterns and potential market manipulation before they affect market integrity.”
