Product suitability frameworks are structured guidelines and processes used by financial institutions to assess whether a particular investment product aligns with a client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. These frameworks ensure that products offered are appropriate for the intended recipient. In digital assets, this helps protect investors from unsuitable or overly complex offerings. They are a core component of responsible financial advice.
Context

Developing robust frameworks for novel digital assets presents unique challenges due to their volatility and technical complexity. The application of these frameworks is critical for institutional adoption and mainstream acceptance of crypto investment products.
