Definition ∞ Mass market restrictions are regulatory or policy limitations that prevent digital asset products or services from being offered or promoted to the general public. These restrictions often aim to protect less experienced investors from high-risk investments, channeling certain offerings towards accredited or sophisticated investors only. They typically involve prohibitions on broad advertising or direct sales to retail clients. Such measures limit public access.
Context ∞ Mass market restrictions are a prominent feature of current regulatory approaches to certain digital assets, particularly those deemed speculative or complex. Debates center on balancing investor protection with financial inclusion and innovation. A key future development involves refining these restrictions as the digital asset market matures and clearer risk classifications are established, potentially allowing broader access under specific conditions.
