Regulatory Perimeter Expansion

Definition

Regulatory perimeter expansion refers to the extension of existing financial regulations to new types of activities, products, or entities, often in response to technological innovation. In the digital asset space, this involves bringing previously unregulated or ambiguously classified crypto activities under the supervision of traditional financial authorities. The aim is to address consumer protection, market integrity, and financial stability concerns. This often results in new licensing requirements or compliance obligations.
