About
Gregory Scopino is a leading legal scholar at the intersection of financial regulation and emerging technology, with his research primarily focused on the regulation of algorithmic trading, market manipulation, and the role of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). His most-cited work, "Do Automated Trading Systems Dream of Manipulating the Price of Futures Contracts?" (2014), is a seminal contribution that probes the challenges of policing markets when trading decisions originate solely from automated trading systems (ATSs). In this article, Scopino critically examines whether existing regulatory tools are sufficient to combat disruptive or manipulative practices by algorithmic robots, offering a foundational analysis that has shaped subsequent policy debates. With 9 citations, this piece has become a key reference for scholars and practitioners navigating the legal complexities of high-frequency trading. Scopino’s work is notable for its forward-looking approach, anticipating regulatory gaps that have since become central to discussions on market integrity. His scholarship stands out for its clarity in translating technical trading concepts into legal frameworks, making him an essential voice for students and researchers interested in the future of financial market oversight.
