Developing a global regulatory regime for crypto has turned into a prominent concern for the market regulators’ worldwide association, as informed by a chief officer. The rapid drop in crypto markets after the digital assets’ thorough adoption in the previous year has included in the 3 top main concerning factors, in parallel to climate change as well as coronavirus, as pointed out by Ashley Alder, IOSCO (International Organization of Securities Commissions)’s chairman.

He added that the hazards they require to deal with are many and the crypto has some apprehensions related to it while being discussed at an organizational scale. As per him, in the matter of cryptocurrencies, a deficiency in transparency, operational resilience, as well as cyber security are known as the zones where the regulators are lagging.

A globe-wide crypto administration

Alder mentioned that a common entity organizing crypto regulations on a worldwide level was required, and would probably be developed within the coming year. The precedent had in advance been established with an analogous team belonging to climate finance, like the one developed by the G20. Alder disclosed that there is nothing like that in the case of cryptocurrency at present.

However, he revealed, that the 3 Cs are of great importance taking into account Crypto, Climate, and COVID. That is why a considerable time would be utilized in this respect. Formerly this week, Klaas Knot, the Chairman of the Financial Stability Board – while appearing at the yearly conference of the Madrid-based International Swaps and Derivatives Association – put stress on the role that could be played on the behalf of his institution in this type of worldwide regime.

Enhancing country-based crypto agenda

The FSB has a position of playing a key part in the formation of a rational globe-wide regulatory agenda covering crypto assets, as asserted by Knot. Keeping in view the decline that occurred in crypto during this year, triggered by the stablecoin TerraUSD’s downfall, some additional endeavors have been taken on the national scale.

In the previous month, the United States-based CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) appealed for a broadly latent legal provision for enhancement of its influence over fintech as well as crypto companies. In the meantime, a document got leaked in recent days, noting that South Korean authorities have plans to release a crypto agenda in the coming year, with its implementation expectedly to begin in 2024.
