Enforcement Practices

Definition

Enforcement practices are the methods by which legal and regulatory authorities apply rules to digital asset activities. These practices include investigations, civil penalties, criminal prosecutions, and asset seizures related to non-compliance with anti-money laundering, securities, or consumer protection laws. They aim to deter illicit activities, maintain market integrity, and protect investors within the digital asset space. The scope and severity of enforcement actions vary significantly across jurisdictions, creating a complex global regulatory landscape.
