The German government said it will be appropriate to monitor the development at the G20 level and this is in line with the suggestions of other G20 countries
The German government also referred to its answer today to a parliamentary inquiry from right-wing political party Alternative for Germany on problems associated with cryptocurrencies. The alleged problems include money laundering, illegal revenue, use of such currencies in online gambling and terrorist financing. Currently, a national risk analysis to be completed next year is in the works, which would identify any need for action on the government’s part:
According to report "in order to address the dangers of Bitcoin and other "digital currencies ", there are as of now imperative controls in Germany: for instance, German-based crypto brokers must take after the same anti-money laundering regulations as other financial service providers – particularly with regards to recognizing clients."

The Federal Government also noted that for the commercial trade of cryptocurrency to take effect, there is need for the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to grant permission. According to the government, there is need to lay emphasizes on the importance of international controls in the crypto sphere. In their own words.
