Any regulation of cryptocurrencies must take place at the international level. This statement was made by Bundesbank board member Joachim Wurmeling, explaining that digital currencies are not subject to national rules.
“Effective regulation of cryptocurrencies can only occur with maximum international cooperation, since the regulatory power of nation states is very limited.”
After the Chinese government banned crypto exchanges in September 2017, many Chinese traders simply moved their activities to Japan or South Korea. Governments of many countries have already attempted to regulate cryptocurrencies.
