   "standing_position": "Peru has no comprehensive crypto-asset licensing statute. The only enacted, crypto-specific registration obligation is AML-driven: Virtual Asset Service Providers (Proveedores de Servicios de Activos Virtuales, PSAV) domiciled or incorporated in Peru must register as obligated subjects with the UIF-Perú (a specialized unit of the SBS) under Resolución S.B.S. N° 02648-2024, which the resolution itself states covers FATF Recommendation 15 AML/CFT scope only and does not regulate the underlying technology or the commercial activities/operations of PSAV. A separate securities-characterisation perimeter exists under the SMV's general Ley del Mercado de Valores: token offerings that meet the 'valor mobiliario' test fall within SMV's public-offering registration regime on a case-by-case basis. A bill to establish comprehensive VASP licensing has circulated in the Peruvian Congress for extended periods without full enactment; this must not be cited as enacted law.",
