URGENT NEWS: New Restrictions on Exchange Asset Sales Implemented
NEW YORK, DEC 11, 2025 – 9:15 PM EST – A significant new regulatory measure, taking effect in June 2025, has placed stringent limitations on how digital asset exchanges can sell their own holdings. This policy is designed as a critical safeguard to enhance market integrity and prevent potential manipulation by platform operators. $IP
Under the new rules, exchanges are now permitted to sell digital assets only to cover operational costs and legitimate expenses. Critically, these sales are explicitly prohibited from taking place on the exchange’s own trading platform.
This restriction mandates that any necessary liquidation must be conducted through external, transparent channels, thereby creating a necessary distance between the exchange's operational needs and the platform’s active trading environment.
The fundamental educational rationale behind this policy is to prevent conflicts of interest.
When an exchange trades its own assets on its own venue, it possesses privileged insight into order flows and liquidity, which could potentially be exploited to the detriment of retail traders and overall market fairness. This move signals a growing commitment by regulators to ensure a level playing field and boost public confidence in the digital asset market's structure.
