Bank backed describes a digital asset or financial product whose value is supported or guaranteed by a traditional banking institution. This backing typically involves holding equivalent reserves in fiat currency or other liquid assets within the bank’s custody. Such arrangements aim to provide stability and confidence, bridging traditional finance with the digital asset economy. It offers a degree of security and regulatory oversight often absent in purely decentralized assets.
