Definition ∞ Design and distribution refer to the creation and dissemination processes for financial products or digital assets. In the context of digital assets, design encompasses the technical specifications, economic model, and governance structure of a cryptocurrency or token. Distribution involves the methods used to make these assets available to users, such as initial coin offerings (ICOs), airdrops, exchange listings, or mining rewards. Both aspects are subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny to ensure consumer protection and market integrity.
Context ∞ Regulatory bodies globally are increasingly focusing on the design and distribution practices of digital assets, particularly in the wake of various market events. News often reports on new guidelines or enforcement actions related to misleading promotional materials or inadequate risk disclosures during token sales. The goal is to ensure that products are suitable for their target markets and that participants receive clear, accurate information.
