Definition ∞ Exchange traded signifies that a financial instrument or digital asset is listed and available for trading on a regulated exchange platform. This implies that the asset has met certain listing criteria and can be bought or sold by the public through established market mechanisms. Such assets often benefit from increased visibility, liquidity, and regulatory oversight compared to those traded only on decentralized or over-the-counter markets. This accessibility is a key factor for many investors.
Context ∞ The trend of exchange-traded digital assets, particularly cryptocurrencies and related derivatives, is currently a focal point for financial market participants. Discussions frequently address the implications of major exchange listings for token price discovery and market accessibility. Future developments are anticipated to include a broader range of exchange-traded products, such as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for digital assets, pending regulatory approvals.
