A regulated asset framework is a set of rules and guidelines established by authorities for the oversight of financial assets. This term refers to the legal and operational structure within which specific assets, including digital assets, are governed, monitored, and enforced by government bodies or financial regulators. Such a framework defines requirements for issuance, trading, custody, and reporting, aiming to protect investors and maintain market integrity. It provides clarity and legitimacy to asset classes, facilitating broader institutional adoption. The absence or presence of such a framework significantly impacts market development.
