G20 nations strive for a collaborative approach to manage cryptocurrency-related risks.
The Group of 20 (G20), an international assembly of 19 countries and the European Union, is focusing on establishing a joint framework to assist member nations in addressing the dangers associated with cryptocurrency investments.
India's presidency of the G20 has prompted the call for global crypto policies, an idea endorsed by the country's Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman.

Nirmala Sitharaman believes that reforms issued by individual jurisdictions will not sufficiently tackle the worldwide implications of cryptocurrencies, particularly given the numerous ecosystem failures that have affected investors globally.
Sitharaman emphasized the necessity for a collective effort from all jurisdictions during her speech at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Cryptocurrencies are a very important part of the discussion under the #G20India presidency, given so many collapses and shocks in cryptocurrencies. We seek to develop a common framework for all countries to deal with this matter.
On top of that, Sitharaman unveiled the G20's intention to unite worldwide economies in addressing debt distress and hyperinflation affecting smaller countries such as Sri Lanka and Ghana. India's Finance Minister elaborated:
In G20, there is an opportunity for India to bring all countries together to address debt distress in middle-income and low-income countries. Multilateral institutions are coming up with resolutions for debt-laden countries in 3 to 5 years' time.
India's G20 presidency will terminate on November 30th, 2023, giving the Group of 20 nations around seven months to develop all-encompassing crypto reforms that can be implemented across all jurisdictions.
This collaboration highlights the growing recognition of the need for a coordinated approach to managing the challenges and opportunities presented by digital assets in the global economy.
It is worth noting that G20's plans for joint crypto-related policies first started surfacing in December 2022. At that time, India's Federal Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth revealed that G20 nations were looking to launch a joint policy consensus on crypto assets.
