Financial Resource Requirements refer to the mandated capital reserves, liquidity provisions, and other monetary assets that regulated entities must maintain to ensure their solvency and operational stability. These requirements are typically imposed by regulatory bodies to protect consumers and prevent systemic risks within financial markets. For digital asset firms, these stipulations ensure they possess sufficient funds to cover potential liabilities and operate reliably. Adherence to these standards is a prerequisite for licensing and ongoing regulatory compliance.
Context

Regulators are actively assessing how to apply traditional capital adequacy standards to novel business models involving digital assets. A critical future development involves tailoring these requirements to the specific risks associated with various digital asset activities, balancing market stability with the need to avoid stifling innovation in the sector.
