Abstract:This week, Germany's top regulator urged for worldwide regulation of the cryptocurrency business in order to safeguard consumers, combat money laundering, and maintain financial stability.


  This week, Germany's top regulator urged for worldwide regulation of the cryptocurrency business in order to safeguard consumers, combat money laundering, and maintain financial stability.

  The head of Germany's financial market regulator BaFin, Mark Branson, said that a hands-off attitude that would “simply let the business expand as a playground for adults” was the incorrect strategy.

  “We've glimpsed the world of self-regulation. It's not going to work” On Tuesday evening, Branson told media in Frankfurt.

  Hours earlier, US authorities accused Sam Bankman-Fried, creator of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, of misappropriating billions of dollars and breaching campaign rules in what has been characterized as possibly one of America's greatest financial scams.

  According to Branson, a “crypto spring” may follow what has been a “crypto winter,” but the sector that develops will likely have greater ties to regular banking, raising the need for regulation.

  “The moment has come for meaningful cryptocurrency regulation,” he said.

  “The most crucial argument is that a European solution is not required. It requires a global response.”

  The industry's regulation has been patchy and haphazard.

  Banks in Germany must get permits to deal with cryptocurrencies.

  The European Union has been working on new Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) that some, like European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, feel would need to be widened out in a future version and labeled “MiCA 2”.

  Branson has previously expressed reservations about the industry. Last month he noted in an interview on the ECB's website that “not all crypto business ideas are genuine”.

  “As we all know, waves of innovation bring with them freeloaders and criminals,” he remarked.
