Compliant Collateral

Definition

Compliant collateral refers to assets pledged as security in a financial transaction that meet specific regulatory and protocol-defined criteria. In decentralized finance, these are digital assets accepted by lending platforms that adhere to established risk parameters and, increasingly, legal standards. This classification ensures the collateral is suitable for securing a loan within a particular framework. Its acceptance depends on factors like liquidity, volatility, and legal clarity.
