ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptonews, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) has released a report indicating that while the current impact of tokenization on global financial stability is limited, potential risks may increase as its application expands. The report emphasizes that the risks of tokenization to global financial stability are currently limited, primarily due to its small scale and early adoption stage. Most tokenized assets remain confined to pilot projects and niche markets, with low integration into the broader financial system.The report also points out several factors hindering the integration of tokenization into mainstream finance, including technological challenges, a lack of cross-platform standardization, and deficiencies in existing regulatory frameworks. The FSB believes that these obstacles help to some extent in controlling related risks, as the broader financial markets have not yet faced significant risks.Despite the current limited impact, the FSB still highlights the potential risks that may arise from the increased application of tokenization. As these markets expand, challenges such as legal uncertainties regarding asset ownership and cross-border transaction management may become more pronounced. In particular, as the tokenization market deepens its ties with traditional finance, these issues could create greater vulnerabilities.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) has announced that it will expand its research on the risks of stablecoins in emerging and developing economies.The FSB pointed out that while these economies generally welcome digital financial innovation, the widespread use of stablecoins could pose a threat to their monetary policy and financial stability. The FSB plans to address these risks through in-depth analysis, including an assessment of the differences and gaps in the current regulatory frameworks of various countries. At the same time, the FSB calls for global collaboration to promote unified regulatory standards for stablecoins to ensure the safety and stability of cross-border payments and financial systems. This move has received support from G20 countries, which emphasize the need to strengthen the regulation of crypto assets to prevent a recurrence of incidents like last year's FTX and Celsius collapses.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Klaas Knot, the chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), stated in a letter to the finance ministers of the G20 countries that crypto assets, tokenization, and artificial intelligence (AI) remain key areas of focus for the committee, which is responsible for monitoring the global financial system.It is reported that this letter was sent on the Monday before the G20 meeting held in São Paulo on Wednesday and Thursday. It also outlined the organization's plan to release a status report on its crypto roadmap and a report on the impact of tokenization on financial stability in October. The committee is coordinating with 24 countries and intends to report on the impact of AI on financial stability in the month following that.Knot stated, "One of our focuses in 2024 and beyond is the effective implementation of the FSB's global regulatory and supervisory framework for crypto asset activities and markets, as well as global stablecoin arrangements, which was endorsed by G20 leaders at the summit in New Delhi." The New Delhi meeting took place in September of last year.

ChainCatcher news, G20 member country leaders expressed support on Saturday for the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding the regulation and oversight of crypto asset activities and markets, as well as global stablecoins.The G20 will continue to closely monitor the rapidly evolving risks of the crypto asset ecosystem. The G20 finance ministers and central bank governors will discuss advancing the proposed roadmap by the FSB and IMF at their meeting in October 2023. The next G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting is scheduled to be held in Marrakech, Morocco.The G20 leaders' summit declaration stated, "We warmly welcome the comprehensive document submitted by the IMF-FSB (which includes the roadmap), which will support a coordinated and comprehensive policy and regulatory framework, while taking into account the pervasive risks as well as the risks unique to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE), and the FATF standards being implemented globally to address money laundering and terrorist financing risks."G20 leaders acknowledged the work plans of the FSB and standard-setting bodies (SSBs) on crypto assets, as well as the report from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on key elements and risks of the crypto ecosystem.G20 leaders also called for the swift implementation of the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) and the amendments to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) released a joint policy roadmap on Thursday, stating that merely banning cryptocurrencies will not eliminate their risks. The joint document from the IMF and FSB will be submitted to the G20 this weekend.The report states that to address the macroeconomic risks posed by cryptocurrencies, jurisdictions should "strengthen monetary policy frameworks, guard against excessive volatility in capital flows, and provide clear tax treatment for cryptocurrencies." The report reiterates the IMF's position that a comprehensive ban on cryptocurrencies may not help mitigate the associated risks, and targeted restrictions may be particularly suitable for emerging economies.The report notes that implementing a comprehensive ban in one jurisdiction, deeming all cryptocurrency activities (including trading and mining) illegal, is not only costly and technically challenging but may also "lead to activities shifting to other jurisdictions, thereby creating spillover risks."The report emphasizes that restrictive measures should not replace strong macroeconomic policies, credible institutional frameworks, and comprehensive regulation and supervision, which are the first line of defense against the macroeconomic and financial risks posed by crypto assets; however, this does not mean that all bans should be ruled out. During times of stress or when countries find better internal solutions, jurisdictions may consider targeted temporary restrictions to manage certain risk factors.In response to G20 countries' concerns about the spread of stablecoins, the IMF/FSB roadmap proposes solutions. The report states that if stablecoins denominated in foreign currencies are easier and cheaper to access than foreign currency bank accounts, rapid capital outflows or reversals may occur. While stablecoins can facilitate widespread transactions, they may pose risks in maintaining stable value and rely on private issuers. Global stablecoins adopted by multiple jurisdictions "may transmit volatility more abruptly than other crypto assets and could pose significant risks to financial stability."

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the Chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) Klaas Knot stated that the FSB and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will launch a joint document on global cryptocurrency policy at the G20 summit.It is reported that the document includes a roadmap for implementing a cryptocurrency policy framework, including global coordination, cooperation, and information sharing. The document was submitted at the request of the G20 presidency of India.

ChainCatcher news, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) released the "International Regulation of Crypto-asset Activities" this week, providing policy recommendations for legislators in each jurisdiction aimed at maintaining innovation in the crypto space.The FSB stated that an effective regulatory framework must ensure that crypto asset activities are comprehensively regulated, commensurate with the risks posed by these activities, while leveraging the potential benefits of the underlying technology. Such regulation should ensure that equivalent regulatory outcomes are achieved when they pose risks similar to those of traditional financial activities, while addressing the new characteristics of crypto assets.The FSB also emphasized that legislators should monitor the backend operations of stablecoin issuing companies to ensure that issuers continuously maintain the funds backing the issued stablecoins, preventing events similar to the collapse of TerraUSD from occurring again. It is reported that the FSB has requested its members to provide feedback on this global regulatory framework by December 15, 2022. (Source link)
