G7 to discuss crypto-asset regulation, says French central banker
PARIS, May 17 (Reuters) - The regulation of crypto-assets is
likely to be discussed at a meeting of Group of Seven finance
chiefs this week in Germany, French central bank head Francois
Villeroy de Galhau said on Tuesday.
"What happened in the recent past is a wake-up call for the
urgent need for global regulation," Villeroy told an emerging
markets conference in Paris, referring to recent turbulence in
crypto-asset markets.
"Europe paved the way with MICA (regulatory framework for
crypto-assets), we will probably ... discuss these issues among
many others at the G7 meeting in Germany this week," he added.
