Proportionate Compliance describes a regulatory approach where the extent and intensity of compliance requirements are tailored to the specific risks and characteristics of a regulated entity or activity. In the digital asset sector, this means regulations are applied in a manner commensurate with the scale, complexity, and potential impact of a crypto business. It seeks to avoid overly burdensome rules for smaller entities while ensuring adequate oversight for larger, higher-risk operations. This approach aims for balanced regulation.
