Regulatory Interoperability describes the ability of different regulatory frameworks, often across various jurisdictions, to function together seamlessly and without conflict. In the digital asset sphere, it refers to the harmonization of rules and standards that govern cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) across national borders. Achieving regulatory interoperability aims to reduce compliance burdens for global businesses, prevent regulatory arbitrage, and foster a more coherent international approach to digital asset oversight. It facilitates cross-border innovation and market stability.
Context
The pursuit of Regulatory Interoperability is a pressing issue for the inherently borderless digital asset market. Current discussions focus on international cooperation initiatives, such as those by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the OECD, to develop common principles and standards. A key debate involves reconciling diverse national legal traditions and policy objectives while working towards a shared understanding of digital asset risks and opportunities. Future developments will likely involve the creation of more unified global guidelines and mutual recognition agreements, paving the way for a more integrated and safely regulated digital economy.
