A regulatory jurisdiction shift occurs when the authority to oversee a particular activity or asset moves from one regulatory body to another, or when new legislation assigns oversight to a different entity. This change can alter compliance requirements and market operations. It reflects evolving legal interpretations or policy priorities within a governmental structure.
