Geo-fencing controls are technological restrictions that limit access to digital services or assets based on a user’s geographical location. These controls use location data to enforce regulatory compliance, prevent unauthorized access, or adhere to regional licensing agreements. They are commonly employed by cryptocurrency platforms to comply with jurisdictional laws. This mechanism ensures services are only available where legally permitted.
