Generic Listing Rule

Definition ∞ A Generic Listing Rule is a standardized regulation or a set of uniform criteria applied by an exchange or a regulatory authority for the admission of various financial products. These rules establish general requirements that prospective applicants must satisfy, covering aspects such as disclosure obligations, market capitalization thresholds, and corporate governance standards. They provide a foundational framework for market participation.
Context ∞ In the context of digital asset markets, the absence of a universally accepted Generic Listing Rule for crypto-related products on traditional exchanges has been a recurring point of discussion. Regulators often assess each digital asset product on a case-by-case basis, leading to protracted approval processes and ongoing calls for more standardized guidelines to foster greater market clarity and predictability.
