Regulated Financial Product

Definition

A regulated financial product is an investment or financial instrument that falls under the oversight of a specific governmental or independent regulatory authority. These products are subject to rules concerning their issuance, marketing, trading, and investor protections. In the digital asset sphere, a regulated financial product could include a spot Bitcoin ETF, a tokenized security, or a stablecoin issued by a licensed entity. Such products offer investors a degree of confidence and legal recourse not always present in unregulated digital asset offerings.
