Global standards alignment involves harmonizing regulatory and operational practices across different international jurisdictions. For digital assets, this means establishing consistent rules for anti-money laundering, know-your-customer, market conduct, and consumer protection across various countries. The objective is to reduce regulatory fragmentation, facilitate cross-border operations, and mitigate opportunities for regulatory arbitrage. Such alignment promotes a more cohesive and predictable global digital asset environment.
