According to Foresight News, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has proposed detailed guidelines in the seventh edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM7) on how to classify and record crypto assets such as Bitcoin, stablecoins, and token-based platforms like Ethereum and Solana. The new framework shows that digital assets are divided into fungible and non-fungible tokens, and further classified based on whether they are backed by related liabilities. Bitcoin and other tokens without liability support are considered non-productive non-financial assets and are placed in the capital account.
