IMF Releases Updated Guidelines for Digital Asset Classification
According to Foresight News, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released the seventh edition of its Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM7), outlining new standards for classifying and recording digital assets. The framework categorizes cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, stablecoins, and blockchain platforms such as Ethereum and Solana into fungible and non-fungible tokens. Additionally, assets are classified based on whether they carry associated liabilities. Bitcoin and other tokens without liability backing are designated as non-productive non-financial assets and recorded in the capital account.
