With India holding the G20 Presidency this year, this landmark declaration signifies a significant step toward the regulation of the burgeoning cryptocurrency market.

The declaration, which involved leaders from around the world, including US President Joe Biden, emphasized the need to closely monitor the rapid developments in the crypto asset ecosystem. It voiced support for the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) high-level recommendations regarding the regulation, supervision, and oversight of crypto asset activities and markets, as well as global stablecoin arrangements. Notably, the FSB had finalized these recommendations in July.

Under these new regulations, starting from 2027, bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges, as well as related companies, will be obligated to share transaction information across international borders. This move is aimed at enhancing transparency and mitigating potential risks associated with crypto assets.

Earlier in the week, the FSB and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) jointly presented a report to the G20, highlighting the importance of international cooperation and information sharing in the realm of cryptocurrencies. 

The report cautioned against a blanket ban on Bitcoin and other crypto assets, citing the complexity and costs associated with enforcement. However, it also recommended that cryptocurrencies should not be granted official currency or legal tender status, and central banks should refrain from holding them.

The G20’s commitment to regulating crypto assets reflects a growing global awareness of the need for coordinated efforts to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the crypto revolution. As the crypto market continues to evolve, these regulations are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping its future.
