Redemption protocols are the predefined rules and procedures that govern how a digital asset, particularly a stablecoin, can be exchanged for its underlying collateral or pegged currency. These protocols ensure that holders of a digital asset can reliably convert it back into its real-world equivalent, maintaining its value peg. They specify the mechanisms, conditions, and often the fees associated with this conversion process. Transparent and efficient redemption protocols are crucial for the trustworthiness and stability of asset-backed digital tokens.

Regulators are increasingly emphasizing clear and verifiable redemption processes to protect consumers and maintain financial system integrity.
