Regulated Financial Assets

Definition

Regulated Financial Assets are traditional financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate, that are subject to oversight by governmental authorities and financial regulatory bodies. These assets are governed by specific laws and rules concerning their issuance, trading, and custody, ensuring investor protection and market integrity. When these assets are tokenized on a blockchain, they retain their regulatory status and require adherence to established compliance frameworks. This distinction is crucial for institutional adoption of digital asset markets.
