The latest G20 Summit has brought news for the crypto domain as well. The top 20 most influential economies are pushing for a global crypto framework.
The G20 leaders shared their stance on the subject recently in New Delhi. The leaders are asking for a quick roll-out of a cross-border framework. During the discussion, the parties delved into the complexities of digital assets.
The meeting concluded with a proposed framework for initiating information sharing between nations by 2027. It was unanimously decided that the countries should swiftly implement the CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework) while making amendments to the CRS (Common Reporting Standard).

The leaders have asked the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes. It will decide on a synced timeline to start exchanges across relevant nations.
The decisions made by the framework are likely to affect several powerhouses, including China, the UK, Russia, India, and the US. Moreover, several regions in the EU will also face the implications of these decisions. It should be noted that the G20 nations account for around two-thirds of the global population.
The CARF was designed by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) in October 2022. The purpose behind the establishment was to elevate tax authorities’ insight into cryptocurrency dealings with associated individuals.
The framework decided that member countries should share information on crypto transactions every year. It will also focus on the channels linked to wallet providers and unregulated exchanges.

As anticipated, crypto operations are gradually facing tighter jurisdiction. In May 2023, the European Union began collaborating with the CARF to establish guidelines for G20 leaders regarding cryptographic data. Given how quickly the framework has been functioning, it is anticipated that it will alter the crypto landscape in the coming years.
