Investor protection standards are a set of rules and practices designed to safeguard individuals who invest in financial products and markets. These standards mandate disclosures, ensure fair dealing, and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. They aim to prevent fraud, misrepresentation, and conflicts of interest. The objective is to build and maintain confidence in financial systems.
Context

A key debate concerns whether certain digital assets qualify as securities, thereby triggering established investor protection regimes. Critical future developments include the creation of specific investor protection guidelines tailored to the digital asset market, addressing risks unique to this sector while promoting responsible innovation.
