Investment Company Rules are regulations governing entities primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. These rules, often derived from acts like the Investment Company Act of 1940, dictate how such companies are structured, managed, and marketed. For crypto, this involves determining if certain digital asset pools or funds meet the definition of an investment company. Compliance ensures investor protection and transparency.
