Definition ∞ Mandatory disclosure refers to information that companies or individuals are legally required to provide to the public or regulators. In financial markets, this typically includes financial statements, material event reports, and details about asset offerings, designed to ensure transparency and protect investors. For digital assets, mandatory disclosure requirements aim to provide clarity on a token’s characteristics, its underlying technology, and the project team. Such regulations seek to mitigate information asymmetry and allow for informed investment decisions.
Context ∞ The scope and enforcement of mandatory disclosure rules for digital asset issuers are a key area of regulatory focus globally. Jurisdictions are developing frameworks that require token white papers and ongoing operational updates to be made publicly available. This push for greater transparency is intended to reduce speculative behavior and bring digital asset markets closer to traditional securities market standards.
