Crypto exchange regulation comprises the legal and governmental oversight applied to platforms facilitating digital asset trading. These rules aim to protect consumers, prevent illicit financial activities, and maintain market stability. Regulatory frameworks often address aspects such as anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, know-your-customer (KYC) procedures, operational security, and capital requirements. The objective is to standardize practices and reduce systemic risk within the evolving digital asset sector.
