Financial Services Regulation

Definition

Financial Services Regulation comprises the rules, laws, and oversight mechanisms established by governmental authorities to govern the operations of financial institutions and markets. These regulations aim to protect consumers, maintain market stability, prevent illicit activities, and ensure fair competition. In the context of digital assets, this framework is rapidly evolving to address the unique characteristics and risks associated with cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and decentralized finance. Compliance with these rules is mandatory for entities operating within the financial sector.
