A regulated market is an organized trading venue overseen by government or independent authorities that enforces rules on who can list, what information must be published, and how trades are executed. Think of it like a store that must pass safety inspections and display clear labels: the oversight promotes honesty, regular reporting, and fair access, which helps investors compare options, find buyers and sellers, and reduces the risk of fraud or hidden problems.
