Qualifying cryptoassets refers to digital assets that meet specific criteria defined by regulatory bodies for particular purposes, such as investment eligibility, tax treatment, or inclusion in regulated financial products. These criteria often relate to the asset’s underlying technology, market liquidity, governance structure, and adherence to security standards. The classification helps differentiate assets subject to certain rules from those that are not. This distinction is vital for regulatory clarity and market participation.
