🚀 Attention crypto enthusiasts! The IMF published a working paper proposing a crypto risk assessment matrix (C-RAM) to help countries identify vulnerabilities and potential regulatory responses in the sector. The matrix includes a three-step approach:
1️⃣ Use a decision tree to evaluate crypto macrocriticality.
2️⃣ Examine indicators similar to those used in the traditional financial sector.
3️⃣ Consider global macro-financial risks that affect the assessment of systemic risks.
The IMF applied C-RAM to identify risks in El Salvador, a country that adopted Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender in September 2021. According to the document, the use of BTC in El Salvador represents market, liquidity and regulatory risks. The IMF has consistently discouraged El Salvador from adopting Bitcoin, pointing out "major risks" in areas such as financial stability, financial integrity, and consumer protection.
