A digital asset policy is a set of rules or guidelines established by an entity, such as a government or corporation, concerning the creation, management, and use of digital assets. These policies aim to provide a framework for legal recognition, taxation, and operational standards for digital assets. They are instrumental in shaping the environment in which digital assets function.
