crypto assets could threaten the effectiveness of monetary policy,” noted the Synthesis Paper developed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Financial Stability Board (FSB) at the request of the Indian G20 Presidency. The risks of crypto-assets or virtual digital assets (VDA) assuming the status of a “shadow” currency has also been a key concern articulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), prompting the Indian financial services regulator to push for a complete ban on crypto-assets. An important consensus from the New Delhi Declaration adopted by G20 leaders is that a global coordinated approach to crypto-asset regulation is required. A key challenge faced by regulators across jurisdictions when looking to supervise crypto-assets is the blurring of geographical boundaries. Any person with access to the internet can transact on a blockchain-based private cryptocurrency, allowing for seamless transactions with counterparties across multiple jurisdictions. Several crypto-assets operate without any intermediaries, making regulation even more difficult. Consequently, a framework that has “buy-in” from regulators across jurisdictions is the only effective way to regulate crypto-assets. The Synthesis Paper seeks to address this very problem. It sets out a comprehensive policy and regulatory response to address the financial stability and macroeconomic risks triggered by the widespread use of crypto-assets. Regulators across jurisdictions will still need to frame their own rules but can rely on the broad policy recommendations of the IMF and FSB (as set out in the Synthesis Paper).
