Product Distribution refers to the methods and channels through which financial products or services are made available to end-users. This includes direct sales, partnerships with intermediaries, online platforms, and various marketing strategies. In the digital asset space, Product Distribution involves how cryptoassets, decentralized applications (dApps), and related services reach the wider market. Effective distribution is crucial for market penetration and user adoption of new digital financial offerings. It often requires navigating diverse regulatory landscapes.
