Following the the recent gathering of the Group of 20 (G20) in Indonesia, the leaders of the G20 countries, including U.S President Joe Biden himself, all agreed on the need for international rules and policies for the fastly approaching and growing Crypto industry.
In a statement President Biden posted on the White House website following the G20 meeting, President Biden wrote, “It is critical to build public awareness of risks, to strengthen regulatory outcomes and to support a level playing field, while harnessing the benefits of innovation.”

“We welcome the FSB’s proposed approach for establishing a comprehensive international framework for the regulation of crypto-asset activities based on the principle of ‘same activity, same risk, same regulation’.“
