Financial Product Classification involves categorizing assets or services based on their economic characteristics, regulatory implications, and risk profiles. This process determines how an asset is treated under existing financial laws, including licensing requirements, disclosure obligations, and investor protection rules. For digital assets, this classification is critical in defining regulatory oversight.

Different jurisdictions apply varying interpretations, leading to regulatory fragmentation and uncertainty for market participants. The outcome of these classification efforts directly influences how digital asset firms operate, impacting everything from listing requirements to marketing practices and consumer safeguards.
