The Minister further stated that the Financial Stability Board states in its Consultative Document titled "Regulation, Supervision and Oversight of Crypto-Asset Activities and Markets," dated October 11, 2022 that investment and activity in the crypto asset market is largely self-contained and is mostly for speculative purposes with limited connections to the real economy.
