The ad follows the FTX collapse, which caused a domino effect and, in addition to harming investors and companies, gave reasons for global regulators to close the siege on the sector. The Group has the participation of Presidents, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Presidents from 19 countries, including Germany, Brazil, China, the United States and others. The G20 Leaders’ Declaration was issued after the conclusion of the two-day summit in Bali attended by top world leaders.

FBS is a global financial standards setter that has proposed rules that would subject cryptocurrency businesses and markets to the same strict rules that govern traditional finance. The G20 statement added:
“We welcome the approach proposed by the FSB to establish a comprehensive international framework for the regulation of crypto-asset activities based on the principle of ‘same business, same risk, same regulation.’”

FTX collapse
Since the FTX exchange collapse is in the crosshairs of regulators, the G20 leaders reinforced the need for coordinated cooperation to regulate cryptocurrencies around the world.

FTX Ripple Effect
The statement comes as cryptocurrency exchanges implode under their own weight and scare off investors. Therefore, the G20 pushes for consistency in its regulation across all jurisdictions. At the same time the statement was released, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, said:
“Without proper supervision, cryptocurrencies risk harming ordinary Americans, so this is something we see as a major problem, but the latest issues stand out and show why prudent supervision of cryptocurrencies is really necessary.” .

The move comes as no surprise, as top industry leaders such as Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) predicted that the fall of the third-largest exchange in the market would attract the attention of regulators.
“Regulators will further scrutinize the exchanges. Global licenses will be more difficult to obtain. People now think we are the [corretaje] bigger and it will attack us more.” – said the CEO of Binance.
