Legal standards are established principles, rules, and criteria that govern conduct and operations within a specific jurisdiction or industry. In the digital asset space, these standards define what constitutes a security, a commodity, or a currency, influencing regulatory oversight and compliance requirements. They provide a framework for legal certainty, guiding market participants and regulators alike. Adherence to these standards is mandatory for lawful operation.
