Axiom Trading (axiom.trade) is a Y Combinator Winter 2025-backed Solana trading terminal that generated over $390 million in revenue since its January 2025 launch. In February 2026, blockchain investigator ZachXBT published a report alleging that senior business development employee Broox Bauer and associates systematically abused internal customer support tools to access private user wallet data and front-run customer trades for more than ten months, with alleged profits exceeding $400,000. Axiom removed access to the implicated tools and stated it was investigating, but no public disclosure of disciplinary or legal outcomes had been made as of June 2026.

“ZachXBT published an investigation in late February 2026 alleging that senior Axiom employees used privileged internal dashboards to link user accounts to specific wallet addresses and front-ran user trades for more than 10 months, generating over $400,000 in illicit profits. The report triggered unusual Polymarket betting activity where 12 newly created wallets bet heavily on Axiom before the investigation dropped and collected $1.2M in profit, suggesting advance knowledge of the release. Axiom removed internal tool access and acknowledged it was 'surprised and disappointed.'”

“On February 26, 2026, ZachXBT published findings that Axiom Exchange employees — including senior BD staffer Broox Bauer — abused internal admin dashboards to front-run user trades for over 10 months, extracting an estimated $400,000 in profits. Axiom acknowledged it was 'surprised and disappointed' and revoked internal tool access. A Polymarket prediction market on the story was itself exploited: newly created wallets profited $1 million by betting before the report went public, suggesting advance leaks of ZachXBT's findings.”
