The IMF, through a blog post, emphasized that the worldwide regulations of crypto should provide fair playing space for all people. As per the agency, the respective agenda should push the providers of crypto-asset services to be completely licensed via the relevant organizations.

The IMF points out that such bodies’ licensing should be comprehensive and clear through the provision of designated roles. In addition to this, it was indicated by the IMF that the stablecoins, as well as for cryptocurrencies’ primary utilization, should be in line with the regulations. As per the IMF, the investment-related products and services should have the implementation of the requirements that are analogous to those to be complied with by the dealers and brokers, being overseen on the behalf of the securities department.

Products and services related to payments should additionally have the implementation of the requirements like those imposed on the bank deposits, being regulated on the behalf of the authority for payments oversight or the central bank.
