Chile

Chile has one of Latin America’s most developed and stable financial systems, with high banking penetration and a fintech-forward culture. Its crypto market operates under the Ley Fintech (Law 21.521) — the region’s most comprehensive framework — supervised by the CMF (Comision para el Mercado Financiero), which requires crypto exchanges, brokers and custodians to register and is rolling out the Travel Rule for transfers above USD 1,000. Homegrown platforms like Buda and CryptoMKT sit alongside global exchanges, while the SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) treats crypto gains as taxable income. This section covers everything Chilean crypto users need: how to buy Bitcoin and USDT with CLP, the best exchanges available in Chile, tax obligations under the SII, P2P trading safely, and DeFi and staking opportunities in 2026.
