Regulatory perimeter extension refers to the expansion of existing financial regulations to encompass previously unregulated or emerging activities and assets. In the context of digital assets, this means that traditional financial rules are being applied to cryptocurrencies, blockchain platforms, and related services. This action aims to address new risks, ensure market stability, and protect consumers. It reflects evolving governmental oversight.
