A regulatory sandbox is a controlled environment established by a financial authority to allow businesses to test innovative products, services, or business models under regulatory supervision. This framework permits experimentation with new technologies, such as those in the digital asset space, while mitigating risks to consumers and the financial system. It provides a structured pathway for innovation within defined boundaries.
