Regulatory Withdrawal

Definition

Regulatory withdrawal describes the act of a governmental or supervisory authority removing or retracting a previously issued rule, guidance, or permission concerning an industry. In digital finance, this could involve a jurisdiction retracting its approval for certain crypto activities or discontinuing a specific oversight framework. This action often reflects a reassessment of risks, a shift in policy objectives, or a response to market changes. It indicates a reduction in official oversight.
