Interpretive Guidance

Definition

Interpretive guidance provides clarification from regulatory bodies on how existing laws and rules apply to new or complex situations. In the digital asset sector, this refers to statements, advisories, or frameworks issued by financial regulators, securities commissions, or central banks explaining their stance on cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and blockchain applications. Such guidance helps market participants understand their compliance obligations, reduce legal uncertainties, and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape. It serves to bridge the gap between established legal texts and technological innovation.
