Multi-Jurisdictional Oversight

Definition

Multi-jurisdictional oversight refers to the regulatory and supervisory activities conducted by multiple legal authorities across different geographic regions concerning a single entity or market. In the digital asset sector, this often involves coordinating efforts between national and international bodies to monitor and regulate cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and decentralized finance protocols. It addresses the challenge of regulating borderless technologies that operate beyond the confines of any single nation’s legal reach. Effective oversight requires cooperation and information sharing among diverse regulators.
