Fiduciary powers denote the legal authority and responsibility granted to an individual or entity to act on behalf of another party, managing their assets or affairs with utmost loyalty and care. A fiduciary is legally obligated to prioritize the beneficiary’s interests above their own. This relationship demands transparency, prudence, and strict adherence to established legal and ethical standards. Breaching these duties carries significant legal consequences.
Context

Regulators are examining how traditional fiduciary duties translate to the novel structures and programmable assets within the crypto space. Ensuring investor protection and accountability in digital asset management remains a key area of discussion and policy development.
