Sounds pretty much like the path Japan has always been on, anyway. At least there, regulations have always been because of protection first, and not of the banking systems, but users. But it's always funny to me how banks pretend to be concerned about money laundering when really that's a large part of their profitability. Of course they want launderers to keep going through their systems. Compliance? Nothing but glorified checklists that don't stand up to actual tests.
Hopefully we'll get actual quotes from the German, French and Japan ministers. Not that they'd have any bearing. Just curious to see if they'll let slip on how the world's biggest finance heads view crypto.
