Definition ∞ Global banking rules are international standards and regulations that govern the operations of financial institutions worldwide. These rules aim to ensure financial stability, prevent money laundering, and protect consumers. They are often established by international bodies and then implemented by national regulatory authorities. Such regulations influence capital requirements, risk management practices, and compliance procedures across the banking sector.
Context ∞ The integration of digital assets into the broader financial system necessitates a careful consideration of existing global banking rules and the development of new frameworks. Regulators are actively assessing how to apply these established principles to novel digital asset services and products. News reports frequently detail efforts by international bodies to create harmonized standards for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, aiming to mitigate systemic risks.
