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.

Peru has no bespoke statutory taxonomy for token types. The PSAV/AML framework defines 'activos virtuales' broadly for AML purposes without a technology- or function-based classification, and the SMV applies the pre-existing general securities-law 'valor mobiliario' test case-by-case to determine whether a given token offering falls within its perimeter.

No Peruvian statute or regulation specifically addresses staking, DeFi lending, decentralized-exchange activity, mining, node operation, validator activity, or tokenisation. General civil and tax law may apply by default but no dedicated on-chain-activity framework has been identified.

No Peruvian statute or regulator issuance addresses stablecoins specifically (issuance authorisation, reserve requirements, redemption rights, disclosure, or systemic designation). Stablecoins would fall under the same undifferentiated 'activos virtuales' AML definition as other virtual assets, with no payments-specific or e-money-adjacent stablecoin regime identified.

The principal consumer-facing instrument identified is the SMV's public communiqué warning investors that no specific regulation in Peru backs or supervises the offer or promotion of virtual currencies, cryptocurrencies, or tokens (including ICOs), and that firms making such offers are unsupervised. The communiqué also references Article 2 of Ley 30050 in connection with advertising/offering restrictions, though the precise scope of that cross-reference requires further verification.

No crypto-specific tax statute or SUNAT ruling was located during this pass. By default, general income tax law (Ley del Impuesto a la Renta) would presumptively apply to gains and income involving virtual assets, but no crypto-specific capital-gains, VAT/GST, withholding, or reporting-obligation guidance from SUNAT has been confirmed.

No crypto-specific outbound-restriction, sanctions-nexus, or cross-border reporting-threshold regime was identified for virtual assets in Peru beyond the general AML sanctions-list screening embedded in the PSAV framework (OFAC, EU, and UN lists), which is disambiguated to the FIM aml_ctf module. Peru maintains no general capital-control regime restricting outbound crypto transfers.

Crypto AML/CFT content is out of scope for this baseline because crypto subscribes to the FIM aml_ctf module; no aml_cft_regime claims are produced here. As disambiguation context only: Peru's UIF-Perú (an SBS specialized unit) incorporated Proveedores de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) as obligated subjects (sujetos obligados) via Resolución S.B.S. N° 02648-2024, with conforming amendments to the Reglamento de Infracciones y Sanciones (Resolución SBS N° 8930-2012) reported in SBS Boletín UIF N° 137 (2024). Substantive AML/CFT claim content (KYC/CDD, travel rule, SAR/STR reporting, sanctions screening, record-keeping, risk assessment) is owned by the FIM module and not duplicated here.

Disclosure model: module cards load OPEN; standing positions render in full; sub-briefs and jurisdiction briefs load as a clamped teaser with an explicit “read full” control carrying the true word count; earlier updates stay collapsed behind a counted summary. No text is hidden without disclosing how much of it there is.
Sentinel-fed modules receive no special rendering treatment. sentinel_feed is an attribution chip only: it does not suppress content, does not generate an absence reason code, and does not exclude the module from any count, filter, search index or export on this page.
Family taxonomy is renderer-level presentation config, not a JID field. Colour is always duplicated in text and is never the sole carrier of meaning.
