Definition ∞ Trading Products refer to a broad array of financial instruments available for buying and selling on markets. These products include equities, bonds, derivatives, and various digital assets. They are designed to allow participants to speculate on price movements, hedge risks, or gain exposure to different asset classes. The characteristics of these products dictate their market behavior and regulatory treatment.
Context ∞ The category of trading products has expanded considerably with the advent of digital assets, introducing cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and various tokens. Regulators globally are working to determine how existing rules for conventional trading products apply to these novel digital forms. This classification impacts listing requirements, investor protection, and market surveillance obligations. Future regulatory frameworks will aim to provide clear guidance for the responsible offering and trading of digital asset products.
