Platform Licensing Requirements are the legal and regulatory mandates that digital asset platforms must satisfy to operate within a specific jurisdiction. These requirements typically involve obtaining official licenses or registrations from financial authorities, adhering to capital adequacy standards, and implementing robust anti-money laundering and know-your-customer protocols. Compliance ensures that platforms meet established standards for security, transparency, and consumer protection. Failure to meet these can result in severe penalties.
