ZachXBT: Axiom trading platform executives abused internal tools for insider trading

According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, multiple employees of the cryptocurrency trading platform Axiom Exchange have been accused of exploiting internal tool access vulnerabilities to view sensitive user information and track private wallet activities since early 2025, allegedly engaging in insider trading. ZachXBT specifically pointed out that employee Broox Bauer is one of the individuals involved.

Axiom was founded by Mist and Cal in 2024 and completed Y Combinator incubation in the winter of 2025, becoming one of the most profitable companies in the field, having generated over $390 million to date. ZachXBT stated that he was hired to investigate the platform's misconduct allegations after receiving reports.
