Tackling crypto regulation is high on the agenda at this week's G20 Summit of the world's largest economies.  World leaders warned that regulating crypto-assets is needed to prevent money laundering and to counter terror finance, as well as to create a platform for "fair and sustainable development." The group,  formed in 2008 to resolve the financial crash, previously commented in March about the need for specific crypto regulations and predicted an October deadline for review. It's not clear if those specifics have been ironed out. (CoinDesk)
