The central bank has suggested that there should be consistency at the international level on regulatory and supervisory approaches.
These regulatory approaches should be grounded in the principle of “same activity, same risk, same regulation” approach.
The framework proposes that authorities should have appropriate powers, tools and resources to regulate, supervise, and oversee crypto assets activities and markets, both domestically and internationally, proportionate to the financial stability risk they pose.
