These platforms or protocols provide the necessary infrastructure to convert traditional fiat currency into cryptocurrencies, and vice versa, often facilitating secure storage and transaction execution. They function as critical interfaces, connecting the conventional financial system with decentralized networks. Such gateways are essential for user entry and exit from the digital asset economy.
Context ∞ The development of more efficient and secure digital asset gateways remains a key area of focus for expanding cryptocurrency adoption. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing, particularly concerning Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering compliance requirements for fiat-to-crypto conversion services.
