The “Big Seven” intends to establish new “rules of the game” in the crypto asset market. The reason for this decision was a series of bankruptcies – first of the large cryptocurrency exchange FTX, and then of Silicon Valley and Signature Bank banks, which specialized in technology startups and servicing crypto clients.
It is expected that the G7 will announce these changes at the next summit of the organization, which will be held in May in Japanese Hiroshima.
The main difficulty in developing common standards for regulating this market lies in the specifics of different virtual currencies. Some of them are tied to the value of real assets, but the main volume of tokens is subject to high volatility and speculative fluctuations.
At the same time, among the members of the G7, only Japan has established clear rules for the operation of the cryptocurrency market. In other countries, the legal status and regulation of the circulation of digital currencies differ significantly. For example, Canada and the US still apply normal financial rules to them.
