ETF Regulation

Definition

ETF regulation encompasses the rules and oversight governing Exchange Traded Funds, which are investment funds traded on stock exchanges similar to individual stocks. These regulations aim to protect investors, ensure market integrity, and maintain financial stability by dictating aspects such as disclosure requirements, asset custody, and operational procedures. Regulatory bodies establish guidelines for the creation, listing, and trading of ETFs, including those linked to novel asset classes like cryptocurrencies.
