A Recognized Investment Exchange is a trading venue formally authorized and regulated by a national financial authority to operate as an exchange for specified investment products. This designation signifies that the exchange meets rigorous standards for market integrity, operational resilience, and investor protection. RIEs provide a regulated environment for listing and trading securities, derivatives, and, increasingly, certain digital asset products. Their oversight ensures fair and orderly markets.
