The 52nd G7 Summit rolled into its second day in Evian-les-Bains, France, with leaders from the world’s seven largest advanced economies deep in discussions about AI safety, digital security, and protecting kids online. What they’re not discussing: anything related to crypto or digital assets.
What’s actually on the table
The three-day summit, running June 15 through 17, has France at the helm as this year’s G7 presidency holder. Leaders from Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US are present, alongside EU officials European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Guest nations include India, Brazil, and Ukraine, broadening the conversation beyond the core seven.
The agenda leans heavily into digital policy, but not the kind crypto enthusiasts were hoping for. Safe AI deployment, online child protection measures, digital security infrastructure, and securing critical mineral supply chains for technology all made the cut. Cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, CBDCs, tokenized assets: none of them appear in the reported agenda.
