Trading platform regulation refers to the legal and supervisory frameworks governing digital asset exchanges and other platforms where cryptocurrencies are bought and sold. These rules aim to protect consumers, prevent market manipulation, and combat financial crime. They often cover licensing requirements, operational standards, capital adequacy, and compliance with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer laws. Such regulation seeks to ensure fair and orderly markets.
Context
Trading platform regulation is a rapidly evolving area globally, with jurisdictions establishing distinct approaches to oversee cryptocurrency exchanges. A significant debate concerns the classification of various digital assets and the appropriate regulatory perimeter for decentralized trading venues. Future developments will likely involve increased international coordination to address cross-border regulatory arbitrage and the implementation of more comprehensive frameworks.
