Axiom Exchange Employees Accused of Misusing Internal Tools for Insider Trading

A new investigation has brought attention to potential employee misconduct at Axiom Exchange, a cryptocurrency trading platform founded in 2024.

According to the report by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, staff members misused internal tools to access private user data, including wallet addresses and referral codes. The alleged misuse of these tools allowed employees to trade ahead of users and potentially engage in insider trading.

The investigation linked leaked dashboards, recorded calls, and on-chain data to suspected market manipulation, with one employee using internal systems to research and track 10-20 wallets at a time. Screenshots from April and August 2025 showed internal dashboards displaying private wallet connections for traders identified as 'Jerry' and 'Monix.'

On-chain analysis linked the main wallet of Broox Bauer, a senior business development employee based in New York, to heavy memecoin trading. Funds were traced to multiple centralized exchange deposit wallets, although confirming exact insider trades would require Axiom's internal logs.

The report also mentioned other employees and associates involved in or aware of lookup activity, including Ryan (Ryucio), Gowno (Seb), and a moderator known as Mystery. Following the report, Axiom released a statement saying it was 'shocked and disappointed' by the alleged misuse of internal tools.
