Uruguay has passed a law recognizing crypto as a digital asset and giving the Central Bank the power to supervise companies providing crypto services. Under the new regulations, companies operating in this field must apply for a license to operate legally. The law also updates anti-money laundering regulations and puts digital assets under control, aiming to increase security and transparency in the sector. Uruguay becomes one of the few countries in Latin America with a legal framework for crypto, alongside Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and El Salvador, demonstrating progress in accepting and regulating new financial technologies.
