Status Changed

Previous status: Allowed-Regulated

Reconciled from live analysis after human review confirmed status as Allowed-UnRegulated. Original new analysis incorrectly classified as Allowed-Regulated. The correction prioritizes the live analysis as the source of truth, which correctly identifies that while AML/CFT regulations exist for VASPs, there is no comprehensive regulatory framework, licensing regime, or prudential supervision for crypto assets in Peru, justifying the 'UnRegulated' status. New factual information from the latest analysis (e.g., Travel Rule deferral, specific law dates, banking access issues) was incorporated only where it supported the correct status description.

Executive Summary

In Peru, retail cryptocurrency trading is permitted but operates within an 'Allowed-UnRegulated' environment as of early 2025, lacking a specific, comprehensive regulatory framework. While Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) are subject to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) regulations under Supreme Decree No. 006-2023-JUS and SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024, these rules do not constitute a licensing regime or prudential supervision. The primary regulators—the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP), the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance, and Private Pension Fund Administrators (SBS), and the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SMV)—have issued warnings about risks and clarified they do not supervise crypto assets beyond AML compliance. A proposed 'Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets' (Bill No. 1042-2021-CR) remains unenacted, leaving the market without specific operational oversight, consumer protection, or formal licensing for exchanges.

Key Pillars

Primary regulators: Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP), the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance, and Private Pension Fund Administrators (SBS), and the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SMV).
AML/CFT supervision: The Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF-Peru) is the primary AML/CFT supervisor for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
Core compliance requirements: VASPs must implement a System for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (SPLAFT), including customer due diligence (KYC), risk management, appointing a compliance officer, and reporting suspicious transactions to the UIF-Peru.
Registration: VASPs are required to register with the UIF-Peru for AML/CFT purposes only; this does not constitute a prudential license or comprehensive authorization to operate.
Licensing: No specific licensing or registration requirements for crypto exchanges or VASPs beyond AML/CFT regulations.
Travel Rule: The requirement to transmit originator and beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers is legally adopted but its enforcement is deferred until August 2026.

Landmark Laws

Supreme Decree No. 006-2023-JUS (enacted 2023-07-27): Designated Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) as entities obligated to report to the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF-Peru) and implement Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) prevention systems.
SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024 (enacted 2024-08-01): Establishes specific AML/CFT requirements for VASPs, including KYC, risk management, compliance officer appointments, reporting suspicious transactions, and registration with the UIF. It sets a deadline for compliance and defers the 'Travel Rule' implementation to August 2026.
'Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets' (Bill No. 1042-2021-CR): A proposed law aiming to establish a more formal regulatory structure for crypto assets, potentially including registration requirements for VASPs supervised by the SBS. As of early 2025, this bill has not been enacted.

Considerations

Cryptoassets are not recognized as legal tender in Peru.
Profits from cryptocurrency trading are considered taxable income by SUNAT, generally as capital gains (Second Category Income, ~5%) for individuals or business income (Third Category, ~29.5%) for habitual traders, but specific tax guidance is lacking.
Key Peruvian financial authorities have issued warnings about the inherent risks associated with crypto assets, such as high volatility, lack of state backing, potential for fraud, and insufficient consumer protection.
The SBS and SMV do not prudentially supervise crypto exchanges beyond AML compliance, leaving consumer protection limited.
Peruvian banks are often risk-averse towards crypto businesses, creating challenges for banking access despite no official prohibition.

Notes

The Peruvian legislation does not expressly prohibit the acquisition of or transactions with cryptoassets.
The legal vacuum allows the use of cryptocurrencies in the Peruvian market by individuals as long as these do not contravene public order or existing mandatory regulations.
The FATF 'Travel Rule' regarding originator and beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers is being implemented, but its enforcement is deferred until August 2026.
As of early 2025, the proposed 'Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets' (Bill No. 1042-2021-CR) has not been enacted into law.
The mandatory AML registration for VASPs does not constitute a comprehensive regulatory framework and does not provide the same level of consumer protection or prudential supervision as a banking license.

Remaining Uncertainties

Is the registry of VASPs publicly accessible for consumer verification?
Will SUNAT issue a specific directive clarifying the 'habitual' vs. 'occasional' trader distinction for tax purposes?
Will Bill 1042/2021-CR be revived or replaced by a new comprehensive framework?

Detailed Explanation

In Peru, retail cryptocurrency trading is permitted but operates within an 'Allowed-Unregulated' environment as of early 2025, lacking a specific, comprehensive regulatory framework. The legal landscape is characterized by the absence of a formal licensing regime for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), such as exchanges, and no prudential supervision of crypto assets themselves. The primary financial authorities—the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP), the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance, and Private Pension Fund Administrators (SBS), and the Superintendency of the Securities Market (SMV)—have consistently issued public warnings about the risks associated with crypto assets, clarifying that they do not supervise these assets beyond Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) compliance. This leaves the market without specific operational oversight or formal consumer protection mechanisms. The Peruvian legislation does not expressly prohibit the acquisition of or transactions with cryptoassets, allowing their use by individuals as long as such activities do not contravene public order or existing mandatory regulations. Cryptoassets are not recognized as legal tender in Peru, and profits from trading are considered taxable income by SUNAT, though specific tax guidance is lacking. Furthermore, Peruvian banks are often risk-averse towards crypto businesses, creating practical challenges for banking access despite the absence of an official prohibition. The regulatory framework for cryptocurrency activity in Peru is currently defined almost exclusively by AML/CFT obligations. This framework was established by Supreme Decree No. 006-2023-JUS, enacted on July 27, 2023, which designated VASPs as entities obligated to report to the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF-Peru) and implement prevention systems. These requirements were further detailed in SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024, enacted on August 1, 2024, which mandates that VASPs implement a System for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (SPLAFT). This includes performing customer due diligence (KYC), establishing risk management protocols, appointing a compliance officer, and reporting suspicious transactions to the UIF-Peru. VASPs are also required to register with the UIF-Peru for AML/CFT purposes; however, this registration does not constitute a prudential license or a comprehensive authorization to operate. A key component of the AML framework, the FATF 'Travel Rule' requiring the transmission of originator and beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers, has been legally adopted but its enforcement is deferred until August 2026. A significant legislative proposal, the 'Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets' (Bill No. 1042-2021-CR), aims to establish a more formal regulatory structure, potentially including registration requirements for VASPs supervised by the SBS. However, as of early 2025, this bill remains unenacted, perpetuating the current state of allowed but largely unregulated market activity where the mandatory AML registration for VASPs does not provide the same level of consumer protection or prudential supervision as a traditional financial license.

Report on the Current Status of Retail Cryptocurrency Trading in Peru

Date: 2025-06-26 (Corrected)

Topic: Retail_Trading_Status

Description: Assess whether individual citizens and residents in the country are legally permitted to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies. Detail the regulatory environment surrounding this activity.

1. Identified Status

Allowed-UnRegulated

2. Detailed Narrative Explanation

Retail cryptocurrency trading, including buying, selling, and holding, is legally permitted in Peru. However, the activity operates in a largely unregulated environment as of early 2025. There is no specific, comprehensive legal framework dedicated to cryptocurrencies that establishes licensing, prudential supervision, or consumer protection rules for the market.

Recent regulatory developments have focused exclusively on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT). Supreme Decree No. 006-2023-JUS, published in July 2023, incorporated Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) as entities obligated to report to the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF-Peru). This was operationalized by SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024 in August 2024, which mandates that VASPs implement a prevention system (SPLAFT), conduct customer due diligence (KYC), appoint a compliance officer, and report suspicious transactions. VASPs must also register with the UIF-Peru. Crucially, the SBS has stated that this norm "does not regulate the technology that underlies virtual assets or the activities or operations of the VASPs" beyond AML/CFT. The FATF 'Travel Rule' is adopted but its enforcement is deferred until August 2026.

These AML/CFT rules do not equate to a full regulatory framework. Peruvian regulators—the BCRP, SBS, and SMV—have consistently warned that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender, are highly volatile, lack state backing, and are not under their prudential supervision. The SMV has explicitly noted that there is no specific regulation that protects offers or promotions of cryptocurrencies and that such entities are not under its supervision.

A legislative effort to create a broader 'Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets' (Bill No. 1042-2021-CR) has been discussed but remains unenacted. In March 2025, the bill was returned to committee for further analysis, indicating no imminent comprehensive regulation.

Taxation applies under general rules: profits are considered taxable income by SUNAT, typically as capital gains for individuals. Banking access for crypto businesses remains challenging due to risk aversion, though not officially prohibited.

In summary, while retail trading is allowed and VASPs have AML/CFT obligations, the absence of a licensing regime, operational oversight, and crypto-specific consumer protection rules means the market is not formally regulated. The correct classification is therefore 'Allowed-UnRegulated'.
