Legitimization

Definition

Legitimization is the process through which digital assets and blockchain technology gain widespread acceptance and recognition. This refers to the increasing formal acknowledgment and integration of cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger systems into traditional financial frameworks, regulatory structures, and societal norms. It involves factors such as institutional adoption, clear legal guidelines, public education, and the development of robust, compliant infrastructure. This process reduces perceived risks and expands the potential for mainstream utility.
