Director of Germany's central bank Joachim Wuermeling believes that Bitcoin (TIKER: BTC.EXANTE) should be regulated through an international set of rules rather than on a national scale, Reuters reported.

“Effective regulation of virtual currencies would only be achievable through the greatest possible international cooperation, because the regulatory power of nation states is obviously limited,” Wuermeling told an event in Frankfurt.
