Asset Backing Mandate

Definition

An Asset Backing Mandate is a regulatory requirement for a digital asset to be supported by underlying tangible or financial assets. This mandate aims to stabilize the asset’s value by explicitly linking it to real-world collateral. Such a requirement often involves independent audits and transparent reporting to confirm the existence and sufficiency of the backing assets. This mechanism seeks to reduce volatility and enhance trust in the digital asset’s solvency.
