Enforcement focus refers to the specific areas or types of violations that regulatory bodies prioritize in their oversight activities. This focus directs resources towards particular market practices, asset classes, or entities deemed to pose the highest risk to investors or market integrity. It shapes the legal landscape for digital assets, influencing compliance requirements and operational standards. Understanding this focus is vital for participants in regulated industries to maintain adherence to legal stipulations.
