Market Overregulation

Definition

Market overregulation describes a situation where excessive or overly restrictive rules are imposed on a market, potentially hindering its efficiency and innovation. In the cryptocurrency sector, this can involve stringent licensing requirements, overly broad prohibitions, or burdensome reporting obligations. Such regulatory intensity may stifle growth, drive businesses offshore, and limit consumer access to digital asset services. It can impede technological progress and competitive development.
