Functional Regulation is a regulatory approach that supervises financial activities based on their nature or function, rather than on the type of entity performing them. This method applies consistent rules to similar activities, regardless of the institutional form of the provider. It aims to prevent regulatory arbitrage and ensure equitable oversight across different market participants.
