Regulated Assets

Definition

Regulated Assets are financial instruments or digital representations of value that are subject to specific legal and compliance frameworks established by governmental or intergovernmental bodies. These frameworks dictate how such assets can be issued, traded, held, and managed to ensure investor protection, market integrity, and financial stability. The classification and oversight of regulated assets are critical for their integration into traditional financial systems and for fostering broader market confidence. Their regulatory status significantly influences their accessibility and the types of entities that can participate in their markets.
