Investor protection balance refers to the careful equilibrium regulators seek between safeguarding market participants from fraud and misconduct and allowing for innovation and capital formation. This balance requires rules that prevent harm without unduly restricting access to new investment opportunities or stifling technological progress. It is a continuous effort to adapt regulations to evolving market structures and asset classes. Achieving this equilibrium is vital for market health.
