El Salvador And Paraguay Forge Historic Cryptocurrency Regulation Agreement
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) El Salvador and Paraguay signed a groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding on March 7, 2025, to strengthen cryptocurrency regulations across both nations.
The agreement connects Paraguay's Secretariat for the Prevention of Money Laundering (SEPRELAD) with El Salvador's National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD).
Both countries aim to enhance oversight of digital asset service providers through this collaboration. They will focus primarily on detecting unlicensed cryptocurrency operations and preventing financial crimes.
The partnership will facilitate information exchange and help develop robust regulatory frameworks for the growing cryptocurrency sector. Juan Carlos Reyes, President of CNAD , emphasized the importance of the agreement.
"This partnership ensures financial integrity in a borderless economy while fostering innovation," Reyes stated on social media. He views cross-border collaboration as essential for effective cryptocurrency governance.
This marks El Salvador's second regulatory partnership in three months, following a similar arrangement with Argentina last December. El Salvador continues to lead cryptocurrency adoption in Latin America since becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.
El Salvador and Paraguay's Cryptocurrency Landscape
The Central American nation currently holds 6,112 bitcoins valued at approximately $491.6 million. El Salvador has continued to acquire bitcoin despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund to limit such purchases.
President Nayib Bukele recently added more coins to the national treasury, showing continued commitment to cryptocurrency integration. Paraguay approaches cryptocurrency differently, as the country has not yet established comprehensive regulations.
The Central Bank of Paraguay recently warned citizens about unregulated digital assets. Officials stated that cryptocurrencies remain unregistered and unauthorized by the central bank or the country's Superintendencia de Valores.
This agreement represents a major step toward standardized cryptocurrency practices in Latin America. Both nations recognize that digital assets transcend geographical boundaries, requiring coordinated oversight. The partnership addresses both the opportunities and risks associated with cryptocurrencies.
Financial experts view this collaboration as a potential model for other Latin American nations exploring cryptocurrency adoption. The agreement balances innovation encouragement with necessary protections against financial crimes.
