Regulated Value Transfer

Definition ∞ Regulated value transfer denotes the movement of monetary value or assets between parties that occurs under the oversight and adherence to specific legal and governmental rules. In the digital asset space, this applies to transactions involving cryptocurrencies or tokenized assets that fall within established financial regulations. Such transfers require compliance with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer policies.
Context ∞ The increasing focus on regulated value transfer in digital assets aims to mitigate illicit finance risks and integrate crypto into the broader financial system. Regulatory bodies are working to clarify the scope of these rules and to ensure effective supervision without stifling innovation. This balance between regulation and innovation remains a key policy objective.
