Definition ∞ An evidentiary standard defines the level of proof required in a legal proceeding to establish a fact or claim. Different legal contexts, such as civil or criminal cases, mandate varying degrees of certainty for evidence to be considered sufficient. Common standards include preponderance of the evidence, clear and convincing evidence, and beyond a reasonable doubt. This standard determines whether a party has successfully proven its assertions.
Context ∞ News reports on cryptocurrency litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, or fraud cases frequently reference the evidentiary standard. For instance, proving market manipulation or unregistered securities offerings in the digital asset space requires meeting specific legal thresholds for evidence presentation. The application of these standards can significantly influence the outcome of cases involving digital assets, affecting market participants and regulatory precedents.
