Regulated investment activities refer to financial operations involving the buying, selling, or managing of assets that are subject to oversight by governmental authorities. In the digital asset space, this pertains to cryptocurrency investments that fall under existing securities, commodities, or banking laws. These activities require compliance with specific rules regarding disclosures, licensing, and consumer protection. Such regulation aims to ensure market integrity.
