The venue was Bangalore India, which holds the G20 presidency in 2023. Fabian Schär was invited by the Indian Ministry of Economic Affairs.

India hopes to broaden the G20 discussion on crypto assets beyond financial integrity concerns and capture the macroeconomic implications and widespread crypto adoption in the economy. This will require a data-based and informed approach to the global challenges and opportunities of crypto assets, allowing G20 members to shape a coordinated and comprehensive policy response.
