Uruguay and the crypto currencies
The Uruguayan chamber of former Fintech president and founder Sebastián Olivera told BNamericas that the regulatory proposals will go through the established institutional channels. According to reports, the Chamber intends to attract investment and innovation in local industry and thus continue to promote Uruguay as a regional technology centre. Olivera adds:
“We are aware that no activity can be developed outside the regulatory domain, especially when we talk about the financial system. That’s why we are focusing on working with the regulator and all other stakeholders. We dream that Uruguay is the “crypto valley” of Latin America. “
Last month Mario Marcel, the president of the Chilean central bank, said they are considering regulating the crypto currency in their own country to monitor risks. He claimed that “the inclusion of regulation will make it possible to have a register of the participants in these activities and thus sufficient information to monitor the associated risks”.
Kazakhstan’s authorities seemed open to crypto and blockchain innovation and planned to adopt crypto currency regulations this summer. Kairat Kaliyev, Governor of Astana’s International Financial Centre, said the Centre is working with international companies to develop appropriate regulation and also provides financial support to companies to support and drive Fintech innovation in the country.
