How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Paraguay

Buying cryptocurrency in Paraguay

Buying cryptocurrency in ParaguayParaguay is another example of a government making an attempt to regulate cryptocurrencies. To get oversight on crypto assets, the country must first feel the immensity of its crypto industry. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was what drove the government of Paraguay to the decision to formalize cryptocurrencies. FATF aims to combat terrorism financing and money laundering. For such purposes, it had already established a set of guidelines on VASPs regulation. In December 2019, the Secretary for Preventing Money and Property Laundering (SEPRELAD) made a statement announcing a national survey for all virtual asset service providers (VASPs). This way, the whole crypto industry was to be ready for government auditing. Once the necessary information is gathered, the government will provide a fitting model for regulation. An interesting thing to mention is that despite the central bank’s skepticism towards crypto, the citizens of Paraguay seem to be accepting of cryptocurrencies.
