Abstract:

This study, prepared by Policy Department A, sets out recent developments regarding crypto-assets. These relate mainly to the continuing use of crypto-assets for money laundering and terrorist financing, the massive growth of private “tokens” used to raise funds, and to the emergence of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies.

The study, furthermore, addresses key regulatory concerns, taking into account these recent developments, and suggests regulatory responses.
