Regulatory Vigilance

Definition

Regulatory vigilance denotes the continuous and careful monitoring by authorities of financial markets and participants to ensure compliance with rules and detect risks. In the digital asset sector, this involves observing market activities, identifying potential illicit uses of cryptocurrencies, and assessing new financial products for consumer protection and systemic stability. Regulators maintain vigilance to adapt policies to the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology and digital assets. This proactive oversight aims to prevent market manipulation, fraud, and other harms that could undermine confidence in the financial system.
