Ripple, the blockchain-based payment protocol, and Westpac, one of Australia's big four banks, were among those who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbnz.govt.nz\/have-your-say\/the-future-of-money\">submitted responses<\/a> to the RBNZ's consultation paper.<\/p>\n<p>Woolford said the responses reinforced the central bank's views that cryptocurrencies and stablecoins carry &#8220;significant risks&#8221; and opportunities. He added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We agree that caution is needed, which also reinforces the need for enhanced data and monitoring to build understanding.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the central bank is adopting a wait-and-watch approach when it comes to regulating crypto. Woolford said that effective crypto regulation requires &#8220;global harmonization.&#8221; And as countries around the globe bring in regulation, &#8220;best practices may become clearer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the central bank will continue to work with regulatory agencies through the Council of Financial Regulators to &#8220;support healthy growth&#8221; in the market, Woolford said. He added that RBNZ would also continue discussing emerging crypto issues with industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies are treated as personal property under the <a href=\"https:\/\/freemanlaw.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-zealand\/\">current laws<\/a> in the country and, therefore, are subject to income tax.<\/p>\n<p>The issues raised by cryptocurrencies &#8220;do not fall neatly within agency boundaries,&#8221; Woolford said. However, issues such as investor protection and regulatory barriers to entry are important to build a &#8220;reliable and efficient money and payment system,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is increasing its monitoring of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, the country&#8217;s central bank said on June 30.
