A regulated asset is any asset subject to specific legal and governmental oversight concerning its issuance, trading, custody, or use. In the digital asset sphere, this designation means a cryptocurrency or token falls under the purview of financial authorities, necessitating compliance with existing securities laws, banking regulations, or other specific digital asset frameworks. Such regulation aims to protect investors, prevent market manipulation, and ensure financial stability. It contrasts with unregulated or decentralized assets.
