What’s new? The Financial Stability Board (FSB), established by the G20 countries, has published a work program for the current year. It cites ensuring the effective implementation of a harmonized global regulatory and supervisory framework for cryptocurrency activities as the most important area of focus. International stablecoin agreements are also mentioned as a priority.
What else is known? The FSB developed recommendations on crypto regulation in July 2023. The document mentioned that crypto firms should separate their own funds from client assets and avoid conflicts of interest by separating functions, while governments should cooperatively provide cross-border oversight. It also emphasized the risks of digital assets to financial stability, monetary sovereignty, and fiscal policy. G20 countries later endorsed the FSB’s recommendations.
Also, according to the roadmap, in October and November this year, the FSB will present reports on the implications of tokenization and the development of AI technologies for financial stability.
In addition, the board intends to work on the development of a common international standard for incident reporting exchange (FIRE).
