The Securities Commission regulates, monitors, and supervises digital-asset businesses under DARE 2024. Covered activities include digital-token exchanges, exchange between digital assets and fiat, transfers, certain digital-asset payment services, and services related to offers or sales. The Commission maintains a public DARE registrant and licensee search; verify the legal name, status, and permitted activities before acting. A historic record, suspended entity, or familiar brand is not proof of current authorisation.
