Securities trading involves the buying and selling of financial instruments that represent ownership in a company or a debt owed by a company or government. In the digital asset context, this refers to trading cryptocurrencies or tokens that are classified as securities by regulatory bodies. Such trading activities are typically subject to stringent regulations to protect investors and ensure fair markets. The classification depends on the economic substance of the digital asset.
