A national licensing regime is a legal framework established by a country’s government that requires businesses operating in specific sectors to obtain official permits or licenses. In the digital asset space, this applies to cryptocurrency exchanges, custodians, and other service providers, mandating adherence to regulatory standards. These regimes aim to protect consumers, prevent financial crime, and ensure market stability. Compliance is essential for legal operation within a given jurisdiction.
