FSB Proposes Stringent Crypto Regulation Standards to G20 Nations

  • Traditional financial institutions advocated for more crypto restrictions.
  • Gandhinagar, Gujarat in eastern India has been the location of the third conference.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of India, which is now holding the G20 chair, said on Tuesday that the G20 embraced the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) on crypto asset activity and global stablecoin arrangements.

After several claims of criminal behavior surfaced during crypto’s recent rocky year. The international standard-setter FSB recommended on Monday stricter standards for protecting crypto customers’ funds and preventing conflicts of interest.

Traditional financial institutions advocated for more crypto restrictions throughout the consultation process. While crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase had earlier voiced concerns that stricter regulations may stifle innovation.

Stance on Crypto Regulation

Sitharaman said that the G20 supports the FSB’s suggestions for control of stablecoins. Despite the fact that it has been previously reported that the G7 and G20 are at odds over how to regulate stablecoins.

Gandhinagar, Gujarat in eastern India has been the location of the third conference of finance ministers and central bank governors under India’s presidency. And it was there that the announcement was made.

According to Sitharaman, talks lasted far into the night on Monday. And during that time, India’s presidential note on crypto was submitted. Local sources have suggested that the memo was meant to summarize the efforts of many different nations and organizations. Although, it is unclear what the note really stated.

In September, the G20 will get not just the FSB’s proposals but also a synthesis paper from the FSB and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the global macro implications of cryptocurrencies. The G20 will settle on its stance on cryptocurrency during India’s chairmanship at that time.
