Definition ∞ Transitional measures are temporary rules or provisions implemented to facilitate a smooth shift from an old regulatory framework or system to a new one. These provisions aim to minimize disruption and provide market participants with sufficient time to adapt to new requirements. In the digital asset sector, they are often introduced during the phased implementation of comprehensive crypto regulations. Such measures ensure continuity and prevent abrupt changes from destabilizing markets.
Context ∞ Crypto news frequently reports on transitional measures as jurisdictions introduce new legislation for digital assets, such as the EU’s MiCA regulation. Discussions often concern the duration and scope of these measures, and whether they provide adequate time for industry compliance. A critical future development involves the careful calibration of transitional measures to balance regulatory certainty with the need for rapid technological progress.
