Definition ∞ Fiat currency transactions involve the exchange of government-issued money, such as US dollars or euros, for goods, services, or other assets. These transactions occur through traditional banking systems, payment processors, or physical cash exchanges. Fiat currencies gain their value from government decree and public trust. They serve as the primary medium of exchange in most global economies.
Context ∞ Fiat currency transactions remain the predominant form of exchange, yet their interaction with digital assets is a constant point of discussion in crypto news. The entry and exit points between fiat and crypto are vital for market liquidity and accessibility. Regulatory bodies worldwide are working to incorporate digital asset activities into existing fiat financial regulations. This integration seeks to address concerns related to anti-money laundering and consumer protection.
