The G20 nations, representing the world’s largest economies, have begun work on a cross-border framework for cryptocurrency assets, aiming to implement the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) amendments by 2027.

Initiating a Cross-Border Framework for Cryptocurrency Assets

The leaders of the world’s largest economies have started efforts to rapidly implement a cross-border framework for cryptocurrency assets. The Crypto Asset Reporting Framework is an initiative aimed at making the individuals behind cryptocurrency transactions and the transactions themselves more visible to tax authorities. It includes automatic information sharing between jurisdictions, covering transactions on unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers. The group also approved the Financial Stability Board’s recommendations on global stablecoin regulations.

Setting a Timeline for the Legal Framework

According to local news in New Delhi, where group members attended a two-day summit, the legal framework will facilitate inter-country information exchange from 2027. A consensus statement signed by the G20 leaders included the following statements: “We call for the rapid implementation of the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework and CRS [Common Reporting Standard] amendments. We ask the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes to set an appropriate and coordinated timeline for the initiation of exchanges by the relevant jurisdictions.” Many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union, will be affected by the upcoming framework.

What Does the Project Cover?

The Crypto Asset Reporting Framework was first introduced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in October 2022. The document was designed to provide tax authorities with more visibility into cryptocurrency transactions and the individuals behind them. Under the proposed framework, countries will automatically exchange information about cryptocurrency asset transactions between jurisdictions each year, covering transactions on unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet providers. Cryptocurrency transactions are already subject to new tracking standards in many countries. In May, the European Union approved updated rules to comply with CARF, which sets procedures for automatic information sharing for tax purposes among European governments. The new rules require a username, user address, and user account number to accompany the transfer of cryptocurrency assets.

Conclusion

The group also approved the Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) recommendations on “regulating, supervising, and overseeing crypto asset activities and markets and global stablecoin regulations.” The recommendations published in July set similar standards for stablecoins as for commercial banks and call on regulators to ban any activity that prevents the identification of relevant participants, among other recommendations.
