Axiom Employees Accused of Exploiting Internal Vulnerabilities for Insider Trading

New York, NY – February 26, 2026 – Blockchain analytics firm ZachXBT has released findings detailing alleged misconduct by employees of the cryptocurrency trading platform Axiom. The investigation claims that Broox Bauer, a senior Business Development employee based in New York, along with several other Axiom staff, have been exploiting a lack of access controls in internal tools since early 2025.

According to ZachXBT's report, these employees allegedly used their privileged access to view sensitive user information and track private wallet activities. This information is then reportedly used for insider trading.

Recordings cited in the report feature Broox Bauer reportedly stating his ability to track any Axiom user through referral codes, wallet addresses, or user IDs. Since April 2025, Bauer has allegedly shared screenshots of internal trading panels displaying the private information of various traders.

Furthermore, the report indicates that the individuals involved created a spreadsheet documenting the private wallet addresses of several targeted Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). The aim was to capitalize on their pre-announcement investment positions for profit.

ZachXBT has reportedly identified Broox Bauer's primary wallet and associated addresses. The ongoing investigation also implicates other Axiom Business Development employees and community moderators. Further details are expected as the situation develops.
