19 REGULATORY AND SUPERVISORY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOCURRENCIES 19
20 OVERVIEW Digital Currencies and Cryptocurrencies What is a Distributed Ledger / Blockchain Cryptocurrencies Pros and Cons The Regulatory Response to Digital Currencies Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) Our Regulatory Approach 20
21 DIGITAL CURRENCIES & CRYPTOCURRENCIES - THE TERMINOLOGY EXPLAINED Financial Action Task Force (2014) defines a Virtual Currency as: a digital representation of value that can be digitally traded and functions as (1) a medium of exchange; and/or (2) a unit of account; and/or (3) a store of value, but does not have legal tender status... It is neither issued nor guaranteed by any jurisdiction, and fulfills the above functions only by agreement within the community of users of the virtual currency. European Central Bank (2012) defines a Virtual Currency as: a type of unregulated, digital money, which is issued and usually controlled by its developer, and used and accepted among the member of a specific virtual community. 21
22 22
23 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CRYPTOCURRENCY & FIAT CURRENCY Cryptocurrency Not Legal Tender Not a Liability of anyone Unregulated Exists only in digital form Less Secure Decentralized Fiat Currency Legal Tender Liability of the Central Bank Regulated Has a physical form More secure Centralized 23
24 DOES CRYPTOCURRENCY FUNCTION AS MONEY? BITCOIN FIAT Medium of exchange at some level cryptocurrencies can serve as a medium of exchange, although their acceptance is currently limited. Store of value although some may argue that bitcoin serves as a store of value, this is ill-founded. Bitcoin, a virtual currency, is only as valuable as the market deems it to be and only valuable if it can be converted to a local currency. Unit of account Cryptocurrencies exhibit very high time series volatility and trade for different prices on different exchanges. 24
25 PROS & CONS OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES Cryptocurrency Pros User anonymity: Privacy Transparency of transactions Solution to De-risking? Financial inclusion Cheaper and faster transactions 25
26 PROS & CONS OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES Cryptocurrency Cons User anonymity: AML/CFT Low consumer protection Environmental Volatility Cyber-risks/ Cybersecurity Implications for Monetary Policy? 26
27 CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND FINANCIAL STABILITY The FSB s initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time. This is in part because they are small relative to the financial system Mark Carney Chair, Financial Stability Board Governor, Bank of England March 2018 Crypto-assets raise a host of issues around consumer and investor protection, as well as their use to shield illicit activity and for money laundering and terrorist financing. At the same time, the technologies underlying them have the potential to improve the efficiency and inclusiveness of both the financial system and the economy... 27
28 Bitcoin Legality Legal Neutral/Alegal Restricted Illegal No Information Source: and 28
29 THE REGIONAL RESPONSE TO CRYPTOCURRENCY Some Caribbean Jurisdictions have issued advisories (Aruba, Belize, Curacao and Sint Maarten, ECCB, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Barbados is preparing and advisory for issue in 2018). For many financial sector legislation do not explicitly cover cryptocurrency. For some there is some scope under legislation covering payment systems or remittance business. Many Central Banks have taken a wait and learn approach. Some Central Banks at least 3 have indicated their intention to issue a Central Bank Digital Currency and others are assessing. 29
30 IS A CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY THE ANSWER? TWO TAXONOMIES OF NEW FORMS OF CURRENCY Cryptocurrency Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Not the liability of anyone Central bankissued Commodity money Cryptocurrency Cash Peerto-peer Bank deposits Electronic Universally accessible Cash CBDC Bank account money Reserves Electronic Source: Bank for International Settlements. 30
31 OUR REGULATORY APPROACH TO DIGITAL CURRENCIES Engaging with Regional Central Banks Engaging with International Regulatory Agencies e.g. IMF, FSB Upskilling of Staff via Conferences, Seminars etc. Ongoing Monitoring & Research Accommodative Stance to date Open to Innovations but Cautious Collaboration with Domestic Regulators Engaging with Fintechs Development of Policies Issued Public Notice re: Payment Systems 31
32 CONCLUSION - THE REGULATORY APPROACH TO FINTECH We must guard against emerging risks without stifling innovation Christine Lagarde Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Source: Finance and Development, International Monetary Fund, June
