Forward Thinking: Cryptocurrency Regulations in LatAm
summary
Mexico creates a legal definition of crypto as a virtual asset under the 2018 fintech law and then the central bank issues a 2019 interbank restriction that bars retail exchanges, pushing trading into app-based regulatory arbitrage by platforms like Bitso and Wallabit. Latin America splits between Bolivia ban and state-led experiments such as the Venezuelan Petro, producing sandboxes, court challenges that argue “code not asset,” and a practical gray market where regulation exists on paper but enforcement and clarity remain unsettled.
