It is insistent on the protection and value of sovereign fiat currencies over digital assets. But what about inclusivity, one can ponder.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent blog post, the IMF called upon countries to guard the authenticity of their monetary systems to inhibit them from being usurped by digital currencies. The blog post states, \u201cThe defense against the substitution of sovereign currencies is the maintenance of robust, trusted, and credible domestic institutions. Transparent, consistent, and coherent monetary policy frameworks are crucial for an effective response to the challenges posed by crypto assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

The post warned, \u201cTo protect national sovereignty, it is important not to grant crypto assets official currency or legal tender status. Doing so could generate fiscal risks for government finances, and could threaten financial stability or rapid inflation.\u201d It didn\u2019t however go deep into the success story of <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/september-7-bitcoinday-in-el-salvador\/\">El Salvador<\/a> where the adoption of Bitcoin has the country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/bitcoin-and-surf-boosting-el-salvadors-tourism\/\">economy<\/a> thriving.<\/p>\n<p>Acting as a global bank, the IMF offers financial support to nations in distress. Apart from providing financial aid, it also counsels countries on strategies to boost their economies.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time the IMF has expressed its concerns about cryptocurrencies, especially regarding taxation. Earlier this month, the IMF <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/imf-economists-discuss-crypto-adoption-regulations-and-the-need-for-transparency\/\">suggested<\/a> that worldwide tax structures need to be updated to include digital currencies. It mentioned, \u201cCrypto transactions have similarities to those in cash in their potential for being hidden from tax administrations.
