Crypto regulation comparison
Peru
Syria
Legal
Banned
Cryptocurrency is legal in Peru but lacks comprehensive regulation. The SBS (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP) oversees AML requirements. Peru has growing crypto adoption, particularly for remittances. Crypto gains are subject to capital gains tax at 5% for the first 5 UIT and at higher rates for larger amounts.
Syria has a restrictive stance on cryptocurrency compounded by international sanctions. The Central Bank has not authorized crypto activities. International sanctions make access to crypto platforms extremely difficult.
