Customer protection standards are a set of rules and guidelines designed to safeguard individuals using financial services. These measures ensure fair treatment, transparency, and security for users interacting with platforms that handle their assets. In the digital asset sector, these standards address unique risks such as cyber theft, platform insolvency, and deceptive practices. Adherence to these protocols builds user confidence and reduces operational hazards.
