These responsibilities include providing accurate and timely disclosures, maintaining investor relations, and adhering to regulatory requirements throughout the lifecycle of the issued asset. For digital assets, issuer obligations extend to ensuring the underlying protocol’s functionality, managing smart contract risks, and complying with anti-money laundering rules. Failure to meet these duties can result in legal penalties and loss of investor trust.
