Qualifying investments refer to specific types of assets or financial products that meet predefined criteria for inclusion within particular investment schemes or tax-advantaged accounts. In the UK, for example, these criteria determine what can be held within ISAs or pension schemes, often excluding highly volatile or unregulated assets. Digital assets typically face scrutiny regarding their qualification status due to their novel characteristics. This classification influences investment eligibility.

Legislators and financial regulators are actively reviewing existing definitions to determine how, or if, certain crypto assets can be integrated. News frequently reports on regulatory consultations and potential changes to investment eligibility rules, impacting market access for retail and institutional investors.
