Which would be incorrect. Bitcoin spot markets are protected from insider trading from the CFTC if no one else due to the influence the spot price has on derivatives markets. Moving the price 30% in one day would absolutely fall under their jurisdiction, and there are laws on the books since 2010 making such insider profits illegal.
