Definition ∞ Secondary market sales refer to the trading of digital assets between investors after their initial issuance. These transactions occur on various cryptocurrency exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms, providing liquidity and price discovery for tokens. Unlike primary offerings, secondary market sales typically involve existing assets changing hands among participants. This market activity is a key indicator of an asset’s ongoing demand and valuation.
Context ∞ The regulation of secondary market sales of digital assets is a major area of focus for financial authorities globally. A key debate centers on whether all tokens traded in secondary markets should be classified as securities, regardless of their initial offering structure. Future regulatory actions are expected to provide clearer guidance on the oversight of these markets, impacting exchange operations and investor protections.
