Regulators Establish Global Crypto Framework Through G20 Agreement

The G20 has approved comprehensive cryptocurrency regulations establishing consistent standards across major economies. The framework addresses stablecoin reserves, exchange licensing, DeFi protocol governance, and environmental impacts. This coordinated approach replaces the previous patchwork of national regulations that created compliance challenges for crypto businesses operating globally. Industry leaders have largely welcomed the clarity, though some decentralization advocates criticize certain provisions as overly restrictive.
