Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Regulation in Paraguay

Currenctly there is no legal framework for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in Paraguay. In addition to not issuing or supporting virtual currencies, current Paraguayan tax laws also do not cover cryptocurrency mining.

In May of 2018, the Director General of Standards and Oversight at the Secretará de la Lavado de Laundering y Bienes (‘Seprelad’), Gregorio Mayor Oxilia, became the first authority to talk about cryptocurrencies in Paraguay. Mr. Oxilia warned that digital currencies are an unregulated and highly risky payment method. However, he added that the State cannot and will not attempt to slow down the development of this technology.

Despite the lack of legisilation, in 2019 Cointelegraph reported that Paraguay had settled an agricultural chemical export deal with Argentina using bitcoin, instead of the normally used SWIFT payment system.
