A surety bond requirement is a mandate, often from regulatory bodies, that obligates a business to obtain a bond from a third-party insurer to guarantee its financial obligations and adherence to regulations. For digital asset companies, this is frequently a condition for obtaining licenses like a Money Transmitter License, providing a layer of consumer protection. The bond serves as a financial safeguard against business misconduct or failure. It helps assure customers of financial recourse.
