A regulated ledger is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) system that operates under the direct oversight and specific rules of a governmental or financial regulatory authority. This framework ensures that the ledger’s operations, participants, and data adhere to established legal and compliance standards. It provides a structured environment for digital asset activities, offering increased trust and accountability. Such ledgers aim to mitigate risks.
Context
The concept of a regulated ledger is gaining prominence as jurisdictions seek to integrate blockchain technology into mainstream finance while managing associated risks. Discussions frequently address the balance between regulatory control and the decentralized, permissionless ethos of many digital assets. A critical future development involves the establishment of clear, harmonized international standards for regulated ledgers, which would facilitate cross-border digital asset transactions and institutional adoption.
