Definition ∞ Implicit misrepresentation occurs when information is conveyed in a manner that, while not explicitly false, creates a misleading impression or omits material facts. This deception relies on context, timing, or selective disclosure to influence perceptions without making direct untrue statements. Such actions can lead to incorrect assumptions by investors or consumers. It often exploits ambiguity to avoid direct accountability.
Context ∞ In the context of digital assets, implicit misrepresentation is a significant concern for regulators examining promotional materials and project whitepapers. Regulators scrutinize how project teams present their technology, market potential, and token utility to avoid misleading investors. Enforcement actions frequently target instances where project communications suggest unwarranted security or returns through indirect means.
