Dual Supervision

Definition

Dual supervision refers to a regulatory arrangement where two separate authorities oversee the same entity or activity. This framework is often applied in financial sectors where entities operate across different jurisdictions or deal with varied asset types, requiring oversight from multiple agencies. In the context of digital assets, it might involve both a banking regulator and a securities commission having jurisdiction over a crypto firm. Such a structure aims to ensure comprehensive compliance and mitigate systemic risks.
