The WFE generally welcomed the approach and recommendations made by the Financial Stability Board but advocated an expanded application of the proposals in three areas:

  • Creating classifications via a taxonomy for all GSC and crypto-assets
  • Application of the recommendations to all crypto-assets
  • Applying the cross-border co-operation recommendations and information-sharing requirements to the supervision of all those trading GSC/crypto-assets
