France and Germany’s finance ministers and most senior central bankers have joined the chorus of politicians and regulators calling for a coordinated clampdown on bitcoin and other virtual currencies.

In a letter to fellow G20 finance ministers, France and Germany said digital tokens “could pose substantial risks for investors” and potentially longer-term financial stability.

The letter was signed by French finance minister Bruno le Maire and his interim German counterpart Peter Altmaier, along with François Villeroy de Galhau and Jens Weidmann, the heads of the Banque de France and Bundesbank respectively.
