Geolocation controls in the digital asset domain involve using a user’s geographical location to restrict or permit access to certain services or assets. These controls are implemented to comply with regional regulations, licensing requirements, or sanctions lists. Platforms employ various technologies to determine a user’s physical location and enforce these restrictions. They serve to ensure that digital asset activities adhere to specific jurisdictional laws.
