Regulatory Delays

Definition

Regulatory delays are extended periods required for government bodies to establish or approve rules, licenses, or operational guidelines. These postponements often result from the complexity of new technologies, differing jurisdictional approaches, or the need for extensive public consultation. In the digital asset sector, such delays can impede innovation, deter investment, and create an ambiguous operational environment for businesses. They affect the speed at which new products or services can launch and gain market acceptance.
