FIA

FIA, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is a regulatory organization that oversees broker-dealers and various financial markets within the United States. While primarily concerned with traditional finance, its role in overseeing trading practices and compliance can extend to cryptocurrency markets, especially as they gain mainstream adoption. The FIA aims to protect investors by ensuring fair practices, transparency, and adherence to regulations, which is increasingly relevant as the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve and draw regulatory scrutiny.
