Financial sector rules comprise the body of regulations, laws, and guidelines governing institutions and activities within the traditional financial industry. These rules address areas such as banking, securities, insurance, and payments, aiming to ensure stability, integrity, and consumer protection. When applied to digital assets, these rules are often adapted or new ones are created to address the unique characteristics and risks of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Adherence to these rules is mandatory for regulated entities.
Context
The application and adaptation of financial sector rules to digital assets are currently a primary focus for global regulators. Discussions involve how existing regulations, designed for conventional finance, can effectively govern decentralized and borderless digital asset markets. The development of new, tailored frameworks, such as MiCA in Europe, aims to provide clarity and comprehensive oversight. Harmonizing these rules internationally presents a significant challenge but is necessary for consistent regulation and mitigating risks across jurisdictions.
