As a result, cryptocurrency companies face a myriad of compliance burdens, legal uncertainties, and regulatory risks that can impede their operations, limit market access, and hinder innovation in the fast-evolving digital asset industry.
One of the key challenges facing cryptocurrency businesses is the lack of harmonized regulatory frameworks governing digital assets on a global scale.
Different countries and regions have adopted divergent approaches to regulating cryptocurrencies, with some jurisdictions embracing innovation and fostering a conducive regulatory environment, while others have taken a more cautious or restrictive approach due to concerns about investor protection, financial stability, and illicit activities.
thrive;34642 wrote:full;34641 wrote:Addressing regulatory divergence and resultant market fragmentation requires regulatory convergence, harmonization, and cooperation.
Regulatory authorities across different jurisdictions need to engage in dialogue, identify common grounds, and work towards aligning their regulatory practices.
In recent years, efforts towards harmonization, led by global organizations such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and Financial Stability Board (FSB), have lead to the formulation of internationally recognized standards. However, achieving absolute harmony is challenging due to distinct domestic priorities and sovereignty issues.
While a certain degree of regulatory divergence is both inevitable and necessary to accommodate different domestic preferences and priorities, excessive divergence and market fragmentation can have detrimental effects on financial markets' global efficiency and stability.
