Crypto Asset Operators

Definition

Crypto asset operators are entities or individuals who facilitate or provide services related to digital assets, including exchanges, custodians, wallet providers, and decentralized finance platforms. These operators play a central role in the digital asset ecosystem by enabling users to buy, sell, store, and transact with cryptocurrencies. Their activities often fall under regulatory scrutiny due to concerns about consumer protection, market integrity, and financial crime prevention. Adherence to regulatory frameworks is a key operational requirement for these entities.
