A crypto asset issuer is an entity or individual that creates and distributes digital tokens or cryptocurrencies onto a blockchain network. This process involves defining the asset’s properties, supply, and distribution mechanism. Issuers can be companies launching new projects, decentralized autonomous organizations, or even individuals creating personal tokens. They are the initial source of a digital asset within its ecosystem.

A critical future development involves the implementation of clearer legal frameworks distinguishing between different types of digital assets and their corresponding issuer responsibilities. Debates often address investor protection concerns and the need for greater transparency from issuing entities.
