   "standing_position": "Chile has no crypto-specific licensing statute. Instead, the general Fintech Law (Ley N° 21.521, enacted January 2023) created a CMF-administered 'Financial Services Providers Registry' covering an enumerated list of fintech activities (crowdfunding platforms, alternative transaction systems, credit/investment advisory, custody of financial instruments, order routers/financial-instrument intermediaries). CMF General Rule No. 502 (Norma de Carácter General N° 502), effective 3 February 2024, operationalises registration and authorization for these enumerated categories. Crypto-asset exchanges and virtual-asset service providers (VASPs) as such are not an explicitly named category; a crypto business only falls inside the CMF perimeter if its activity matches one of the enumerated services and the underlying token qualifies as a regulated financial instrument. This creates a coverage gap for pure crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat exchange/custody services that do not intermediate CMF-recognised financial instruments.",

   "standing_position": "Chile has not enacted a bespoke statutory taxonomy for crypto-assets (no equivalent to MiCA's ART/EMT/utility-token distinctions). The general Securities Market Law (Ley N° 18,045) governs whether an instrument constitutes a 'valor' (security) subject to CMF disclosure, insider-trading and market-manipulation rules; classification of any given token as a security is understood to be assessed case-by-case under this general law rather than under crypto-specific criteria. Confirmation of CMF's current case-by-case classification practice requires primary-source follow-up.",
