Decision Impact

Why it matters

  • Exchanges, brokers, dealers, and alternative trading systems may need clearer registration, reporting, recordkeeping, and customer-asset controls.
  • Token issuers and networks may need to understand maturity, decentralization, disclosure, and ongoing reporting concepts.
  • Compliance, custody, accounting, AML, and infrastructure vendors may need clearer evidence for how their products fit regulated activity.
