<p>Amid the rising tide of emerging technologies like cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized the urgent need for a worldwide regulatory framework to ensure user safety and ethical utilization.</p><p>His remarks were delivered at the G20 Summit India 2023, where he stressed the importance of cohesive global efforts in shaping the future of technological advancements.</p><h2 id="header-0">G20 Presidency</h2><p>India, currently holding the G20 Presidency for 2023, has taken a strong stance in advocating for the establishment of a comprehensive global regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Earlier this month, the country released a<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/india-offers-suggestions-in-the-development-of-g20-crypto-guidelines-840973061e66" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> presidency note</a> outlining its insights into the proposed framework.</p><p>These recommendations are closely aligned with the guidelines set forth by authoritative bodies such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).</p><p>Notably, India’s presidency note extended its considerations beyond established economies to include provisions for developing nations relative to crypto. At the time, it was revealed that a collaborative “synthesis paper” was in the works, jointly crafted by the IMF and the FSB. This paper, set to be unveiled by the end of August, will delve into the global macro implications stemming from the adoption and growth of cryptocurrency. The timing of this release is particularly significant, coinciding with the upcoming G20 Summit scheduled for September 9.</p><h2 id="header-1">Establishing a global framework</h2><p>Addressing the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Modi articulated his vision for a world unified under a comprehensive regulatory framework not only for cryptocurrencies but also for the ethical utilization of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. In an<a href="https://www.businesstoday.in/crypto/token/story/crypto-price-today-pm-modi-calls-for-global-crypto-framework-crypto-tokens-trade-mixed-395870-2023-08-28" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> interview</a> with media platform Business Today, he emphasized the reality of rapid technological progress sweeping across the globe. Instead of dismissing or wishing away these advancements, Modi underscored the need for proactive adoption, democratization, and a unified global approach.</p><p>Modi’s perspective underscores his support for a harmonized global strategy when it comes to formulating regulatory frameworks for emerging technologies. Drawing a parallel with the aviation industry, he highlighted how air traffic control and air security are governed by common global rules and regulations, illustrating the effectiveness of a consensus-based model.</p><p>Expanding on the implications of India’s G20 presidency, Modi shed light on the deliberations centered around cryptocurrency’s potential impact within broader macroeconomic contexts, particularly within emerging and developing economies.</p><h2 id="header-2">Regulatory needs at a national level</h2><p>Within India, various stakeholders have been struggling with the regulation of cryptocurrencies themselves. In July, the Indian Supreme Court<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/indian-supreme-court-scolds-government-over-crypto-regulation-delay-e6d4be696ea7" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> criticized</a> the government for its failure to establish clear crypto-related regulations. The country’s central bank, the Royal Bank of India (RBI), has been less enthusiastic about decentralized cryptocurrency,<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/indias-rbi-cites-stablecoin-risks-with-call-for-global-regulation-8f9837405af4" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> warning</a> of the risks extended by stablecoins more recently. Instead, it has proven to be far more interested in advancing the use of permissioned<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/rbi-official-encourages-indian-banks-to-adopt-blockchain-5f34a883600b" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> blockchain networks</a> and a<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/india-looks-to-boost-cbdc-with-1-million-users-in-3-months-37af70905571" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> central bank digital currency</a> (CBDC).</p><p>The proposition of a globally accepted set of guidelines for cryptocurrency regulation has garnered substantial support from authorities worldwide as they begin to understand the difficulty that decentralized technology presents in terms of controlling it. If Modi’s vision translates into reality, it could mark a significant step toward standardizing the governance of cryptocurrencies on an international scale.</p>
