Legal
Restricted

Chile passed a Fintech Law (Ley 21,521) in January 2023, establishing a regulatory framework for crypto service providers. The CMF is developing implementing regulations for virtual asset platforms. Crypto gains are taxed under general income tax rules.

Qatar has a restrictive stance on cryptocurrency. The Qatar Central Bank banned crypto trading and services in 2018, and the QFC Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) prohibits virtual asset services within the Qatar Financial Centre. However, Qatar has shown interest in blockchain technology for non-crypto applications and is exploring a potential CBDC. The Qatar Financial Centre issued a Digital Assets Framework in 2024 focused on tokenized real-world assets, not cryptocurrencies.
