Regulatory legitimacy refers to the acceptance and recognition of a regulatory framework as valid, appropriate, and authoritative by stakeholders. For digital assets, this means that governmental rules and oversight are perceived as fair, effective, and necessary for market stability and consumer protection. Achieving regulatory legitimacy helps integrate digital assets into the broader financial system, attracting institutional participation and fostering public trust. It involves clear, consistent, and well-communicated policies that address industry concerns while mitigating risks.
