G20 Countries Working Towards Global Crypto Regulation
The G20 countries, including India, have acknowledged the need for global cooperation in regulating crypto assets. India’s Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, confirmed that talks are underway to establish a global framework for crypto regulation. This topic will be a key discussion point at the upcoming G20 Summit. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will also present a joint report at the summit.
Sitharaman emphasized the importance of addressing key issues related to crypto assets and establishing a regulatory framework. The crypto community is eagerly awaiting clarity on regulations, as a common framework is necessary for efficient regulation of this borderless asset.
India’s Restrictive Approach Hinders Crypto Innovation
While India is taking a restrictive stance on crypto, it is missing out on the opportunity for economic development through innovation in this space. However, the country is still showing adoption in the Web3 and blockchain sectors. OKX, for example, plans to enter India and hire local talent for Web3 initiatives, recognizing the potential in the country.
