Do Iosco policy recommendations legitimize crypto?
In recent years, the rise of cryptocurrencies has sparked widespread debate among regulators and policymakers. The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has issued a series of policy recommendations regarding the oversight of crypto assets. However, the question remains: Do these IOSCO policy recommendations truly legitimize crypto? Some argue that by providing guidance and oversight, IOSCO is effectively giving crypto a stamp of approval, legitimizing its status as a financial asset. Others contend that while the recommendations offer clarity and structure, they fall short of fully validating crypto as a legitimate financial instrument. What are the key considerations in assessing whether IOSCO's policies truly legitimize crypto? And what implications do these policies have for the future of the crypto market?
