National oversight refers to the supervision and regulation exercised by a country’s government or its designated agencies over specific sectors or activities within its jurisdiction. In the digital asset landscape, this involves governmental bodies monitoring cryptocurrency exchanges, token issuers, and other related entities to ensure compliance with financial laws, consumer protection regulations, and anti-money laundering (AML) standards. Such oversight aims to maintain financial stability and prevent illicit activities.
