Supervisory Tools Deficit

Definition

Supervisory tools deficit refers to the inadequacy or absence of effective mechanisms and technologies available to regulatory bodies for monitoring, assessing, and enforcing compliance within a specific market. In the digital asset space, this deficit is pronounced due to the technical complexity, decentralization, and pseudonymous nature of many cryptocurrency operations. It hinders regulators’ ability to effectively oversee market activities, identify risks, and intervene when necessary. Addressing this deficit is crucial for effective market governance.
