Regulation plays a crucial role in creating a responsible landscape by setting clear rules that protect consumers, reduce fraud, and increase transparency.
Requirements for honest marketing, proper custody of assets, and robust security standards push companies to operate professionally and ethically.
This builds trust, encourages institutional participation, and helps users make informed decisions.
According to recent evidence from a new database on retail crypto adoption, many users display low levels of financial literacy, particularly in understanding risks, volatility, and the underlying technology of crypto assets.
Exactly this lack of literacy often leads to impulsive investment behaviour, susceptibility to misinformation, and overconfidence in unverified sources. Strengthening financial literacy is therefore essential to reduce harmful behaviour, promote informed decision-making, and support the sustainable growth of the crypto market.
Because the crypto market is extremely volatile and operates 24/7, traders and investors are exposed to continuous fluctuations that can lead to heightened stress, constant price monitoring, and increasing emotional pressure or compulsive behaviour.
These symptoms are interconnected and increase the risk of emotional dependence on the market and development of addictive behaviour, anxiety or depression.
