Digital assets and reporting: is there anything new under the sun?

Fernando García Martínez and José Ramón Martínez Resano

Financial Stability Review, 2023, issue Spring

Abstract: The disruptive effects of the digitalisation of assets call for legislative and regulatory adaptation and for a review of the reporting framework applicable to this general category of assets. But the dissemination of relevant information for decision-making in relation to digital assets, such as crypto-assets, faces challenges. The peculiar nature of these instruments has not only delayed a complete and consistent regulatory classification for them, but also a consensus on reporting needs and appropriate reporting types. This paper examines both the challenges posed by this issue based on the joint review of crypto-asset technology and use cases, and the existing general reporting standards. The paper also describes the status of some initiatives that aim to adapt existing reporting frameworks to crypto-assets and also addresses the dilemma between information quality and precision that arises for many crypto-assets as a result of their volatility.
