Crypto & Digital Assets
Operating legally in Latin America's evolving digital asset landscape
Exchanges, VASPs, stablecoin issuers, OTC desks, and token platforms operating in LatAm face regulatory frameworks that are still being written — and banking systems that are still deciding how to engage. Getting structuring right from day one determines whether you operate, scale, or stall.
Key Challenges in LatAm
- Defining the regulatory perimeter without over-licensing
- Obtaining or maintaining banking access for crypto operations
- Designing tax-efficient corporate structures (mandate/agency frameworks)
- Complying with UIAF virtual asset reporting (Reporte 75) and FATF travel rule
- Managing cross-border flows between Colombia, Mexico, Bermuda, and beyond
- Navigating stablecoin issuance, token classification, and crypto tax obligations
