Financial Stability Board member countries will now ‘pro-actively’ analyze vulnerabilities from decentralized finance as part of regular monitoring of crypto markets

The G20′s Financial Stability Board said on Thursday it would take steps to tackle “vulnerabilities” and data gaps in decentralized finance highlighted by the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX last year.

FSB member countries will now “pro-actively” analyze vulnerabilities from DeFi as part of regular monitoring of crypto markets, the report said. “The full extent of the impacts of this failure, including on DeFi projects that were owned by FTX or depended on it for trading flows, will take time to become apparent given the lack of disclosure and transparency in these markets,” the report said.

Until the sharp retreat in bitcoin prices and the FTX crash, regulators had largely focused on cryptoassets rather than related technology.
