An institutional digital asset is a digital asset specifically tailored for use by large financial institutions and corporations. These assets often adhere to strict regulatory standards and possess features suitable for institutional-grade trading, custody, and settlement. Examples include tokenized securities, wholesale central bank digital currencies, or regulated stablecoins. Their design prioritizes compliance, security, and scalability for professional market participants.
