Colombian lawmakers reintroduces bill to regulate crypto with 16 provisions

Two Colombian regulators have proposed another bill that would serve to regulate crypto. The bill consists of 16 provisions, including a VASP licensing system for crypto firms. According to local media outlet El Colombiano , the bill aims to establish a legal framework that would ensure protection for crypto users and encourage more investment in the nation’s budding crypto industry. The bill outlines a total of 16 articles that cover several crypto-related aspects including monitoring, marketing rules, education, crypto tax , as well as anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures or AML /CFT. In addition, the bill also proposes a virtual asset service providers licensing system which crypto firms who wish to operate in the region would have to apply for. Other countries like Hong Kong , Singapore , Canada , and the UAE use VASP licenses to ensure they will abide by local regulations. Senator Gustavo Moreno and House Representative Julián López proposed the bill to Congress on March 2, after having failed in their attempt last year. Moreno argued that Colombia urgently needs to establish a regulatory framework for crypto exchanges and firms due to virtual asset companies in the country are operating informally which “generates uncertainty and risks for users.” You might also like: Binance pushes for stricter security regulations following $1.4b Bybit hack The lack of regulation, Moreno added, does not provide crypto services with the proper security mechanisms to protect its users and prevent the misuse of crypto assets. “Our bill seeks to establish clear rules of the game to generate a reliable and more attractive [crypto] ecosystem for investment with guarantees for this emerging industry ,” said Rep. López. According to the report, around five million Colombian users have been trading cryptocurrency. In 2024 alone, crypto transaction value has reached $6.7 billion in the country. However, the outlet has also noted that many users have also become victims of scams and pyramid schemes, and others take advantage of the unregulated crypto ecosystem to launder money . The Colombian Financial Superintendent, Colombia’s main financial regulator, has been reportedly working on several crypto pilot projects since 2021. However, the projects have yet to produce “concrete regulatory framework.” Read more: Colombian bank Littio, OpenTrade launch USD accounts on Avalanche
