Definition ∞ A fiat conversion gateway is a service or platform that facilitates the exchange of traditional government-issued currencies for digital assets, and vice versa. These gateways are essential bridges between conventional financial systems and the cryptocurrency market. They enable users to onboard and offboard funds, making digital assets accessible. Such services often operate under specific regulatory compliance requirements.
Context ∞ The efficiency and regulatory status of fiat conversion gateways are critical for the mainstream adoption of digital assets. Concerns about anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations heavily influence their operational procedures. Ongoing developments focus on reducing transaction costs and increasing the speed of these conversions, thereby improving liquidity and market access.
