German Central Banker: Cryptocurrencies Must Be Regulated On a Global Scale
As someone says in the comments: For "regulate" read "eradicate".
The director of Germany's central bank believes that bitcoin should be regulated through an international set of rules rather than on a national scale.
Bundesbank director Joachim Wuermeling said that borderless cryptocurrencies are difficult to regulate within a specific region or country, according to Reuters. Speaking at an event in Frankfurt, the banker said cryptocurrencies instead be overseen on a global scale, with regulators harmonizing their rules together.
To that end, Wuermeling said that such a state of affairs could only be reached in the event of heightened cooperation.
He was quoted as saying:
“Effective regulation of virtual currencies would therefore only be achievable through the greatest possible international cooperation, because the regulatory power of nation states is obviously limited.”
His remarks follow developments out of China and South Korea on the regulatory front. Notably, South Korea was reportedly planning to shut down exchanges, though those rumors were later walked back by the president’s office.
However, South Korea is acting on new regulations to slow down speculative investing in cryptocurrencies by forcing banks to comply with new know-your-customer rules and imposing fines on investors who refuse to cease using anonymous virtual for cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, China has indicated it might try to reduce mining activity by withdrawing tax and power benefits for companies.

Hello Sean,
Thank you for your message.
Please accept my apologies on behalf of Nationwide for the delay in responding to your query.
At this moment in time, Nationwide are currently experiencing high volumes of queries through our Internet Bank messaging service which is causing delays with regards to queries being answered.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
We are experiencing difficulties with payments being sent to Coinbase. They are rejecting and returning a lot of our payment however, they are returning them to our agent bank with no sender’s reference on the return. What this means is that the funds are returned but it is extremely difficult to identify what return is for which payment. This causes delays in the payments being received back into our customers account.
We politely ask for your patience whilst we investigate further with our agent bank and LHV Pank (Coinbase' bank) to resolve this issue. Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this.
Regards,
<redacted>
