Digital financial markets are trading environments where financial instruments, including cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and traditional securities, are exchanged using electronic platforms and digital protocols. These markets operate on decentralized or centralized digital infrastructure, facilitating transactions with increased speed and reduced intermediaries. They enable global access to a broad spectrum of financial products and services. The underlying technology often involves distributed ledgers, enabling verifiable and transparent record-keeping.
