## Jurisdiction lead brief

###### Latest update · 25 October 2026

#### Lead Signal

The FATF Travel Rule for Peru&#x27;s Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAV) entered into force on 1 August 2026, closing a two-year transition window that began with the 2024 anti-money-laundering registration norm for virtual-asset businesses. Under the obligation, now embedded in Resolución SBS N.° 02648-2024 (implemented in substance by Resolución SBS N.° 2423-2025), PSAV must transmit originator and beneficiary information on every virtual-asset transfer. This is the only identified cross-border control affecting crypto activity in Peru, and it arrives into a regulatory environment that otherwise has no comprehensive crypto-licensing statute: Peru has treated virtual-asset businesses as anti-money-laundering obliged entities under UIF-Perú and SBS supervision since 2024, without creating a separate licence or prudential-capital regime for the crypto service itself.

#### Other Developments

No other module carried material movement. The broader legislative effort toward a dedicated crypto framework, the &#x27;Ley Marco de Comercialización de Criptoactivos&#x27; (Proyecto de Ley N.° 1042/2021-CR), remains stalled, having been returned to committee and, as of the most recent check, still pending plenary debate with no new procedural step located. Token classification, stablecoin treatment, consumer protection, tax treatment and on-chain activity each remain without a dedicated statutory framework in Peru; the securities regulator retains general authority to characterise instruments on a case-by-case basis, but no formal classification test has been identified.

#### Cross-Monitor Connections

The Travel Rule obligation shares its statutory base, Resolución SBS N.° 02648-2024, with the broader anti-money-laundering regime tracked under financial-integrity, since the originator/beneficiary transmission duty operates as an extension of the same obliged-entity framework that first brought PSAV under UIF-Perú supervision. Operators moving virtual-asset value across Peru&#x27;s borders should also note the overlap with payment-flow controls tracked under world-payments, given that the transmission duty attaches to each individual transfer rather than to an aggregate threshold.

#### Outlook

With the Travel Rule now in force, the near-term question is enforcement posture: how UIF-Perú and SBS apply the originator/beneficiary transmission duty in practice, and whether any sanctioning activity follows a failure to comply. Separately, the stalled licensing bill remains the item to watch for any sign of revival; its return to committee in March 2025 and continued absence from the plenary agenda as of May 2026 suggest no near-term change to the absence of a dedicated crypto-licensing statute.

###### Standing brief · as of 25 August 2026

Written before the update above. Where they differ, the update is the more recent position.

#### Lead Signal

Peru&#x27;s crypto Travel Rule obligation entered into force on 1 August 2026, closing the grace period attached to Chapter VIII of SBS Resolution 02648-2024. Virtual Asset Service Providers domiciled or incorporated in Peru, together with Peru branches of foreign VASPs, must now transmit originator and beneficiary information to counterparty VASPs, a binding obligation that completes the AML dimension of the PSAV framework first put in place in 2023-24. This is a high-confidence, primary-instrument-anchored development, distinguishable from a discretionary regulatory action because its timing followed directly and predictably from the two-year grace-period clock embedded in the original 2024 resolution. The obligation specifically requires transmission of information aligned with FATF Recommendations 15 and 16 covering virtual-asset transfers, and its completion means Peru&#x27;s VASP sector now carries the same baseline AML transactional-transparency obligation FATF has pushed jurisdictions to adopt globally. Whether smaller, domestically-focused PSAVs have in practice built compliant Travel Rule transmission infrastructure ahead of the deadline is not established in this cycle&#x27;s evidence base, and should be treated as an open operational question. This is the fourth consecutive cycle in which Peru&#x27;s crypto AML architecture has advanced incrementally while its market-conduct and licensing framework has remained static.

#### Other Developments

Licensing regime remains AML-only. Neither SMV nor SBS issues an operating licence for crypto exchanges or PSAVs as of 2026; the sector operates under a registration-and-AML-compliance model rather than a prudential or market-conduct licensing regime, a stable, high-confidence negative finding unchanged this cycle.

Token classification remains unaddressed. Cryptoassets are not recognised as legal tender or classified under any securities or e-money category in Peruvian law, a stable finding this cycle with no statutory taxonomy in prospect.

Stablecoin use growing without a regulatory framework. BCRP&#x27;s March 2026 national payments-system report documents growing stablecoin use for cross-border payments and value transfer, without BCRP imposing issuance or reserve rules; this is a market observation rather than a regulatory development.

Tax treatment remains at proposal stage. SUNAT signalled plans during 2025 to amend the Income Tax Law to capture cryptoasset gains and improve data access, but no enacted amendment was confirmed this cycle; this is an assessed-confidence finding reflecting genuine uncertainty about whether the proposal has advanced.

Framework crypto bill remains stalled. Bill 1042/2021-CR, which would create a formal RUPIC VASP registration regime, remains stalled in committee since March 2025 with no enactment timeline confirmed this cycle.

#### Cross-Monitor Connections

The Travel Rule&#x27;s entry into force is the same underlying development the Financial Integrity Monitor reads through its AML-architecture lens; that monitor&#x27;s coverage addresses the AML-compliance and obligated-subject dimensions of this same obligation, while this brief&#x27;s interest is in what it does, and does not, establish for Peru&#x27;s crypto licensing and token-classification posture. Readers with an AML-compliance-specific interest should refer to the Financial Integrity Monitor&#x27;s coverage rather than this brief, consistent with the subscribed aml_cft_regime slot arrangement between these two consumers for this jurisdiction. This division of labour reflects the broader pattern across this jurisdiction&#x27;s consumer set: each monitor foregrounds the reading of the same underlying evidence most relevant to its own audience.

#### Outlook

The single variable most likely to change Peru&#x27;s crypto regulatory posture is the fate of Bill 1042/2021-CR. If the bill advances, it would introduce Peru&#x27;s first formal VASP licensing and registration regime; absent that movement, expect continued operation under the current AML-only registration model, with the Travel Rule&#x27;s entry into force likely standing as the last structural AML milestone for some cycles. A further item to monitor is whether BCRP&#x27;s observed stablecoin-usage growth prompts any future regulatory response distinct from the AML perimeter already in place; no such response is indicated in this cycle&#x27;s evidence base. Watch for confirmation of the bill&#x27;s committee status beyond its known March 2025 posture, and for any UIF-Perú guidance addressing smaller PSAVs&#x27; practical Travel Rule implementation.

### Peru: C1 Crypto LicensingAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

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&#x27;s general Ley del Mercado de Valores: token offerings that meet the &#x27;valor mobiliario&#x27; test fall within SMV&#x27;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.

Open gap — crypto-int-1 Whether the &#x27;Ley Marco de Comercialización de Criptoactivos&#x27; bill has been formally shelved versus merely dormant in committee was not confirmed against Congreso&#x27;s own bill-tracking page. Peru crypto-specific regulation (VASP licensing, token taxonomy) remains structurally thin in available research for this cycle.

### Peru: C2 Token ClassificationRedEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

Peru has no bespoke statutory taxonomy for token types. The PSAV/AML framework defines &#x27;activos virtuales&#x27; broadly for AML purposes without a technology- or function-based classification, and the SMV applies the pre-existing general securities-law &#x27;valor mobiliario&#x27; test case-by-case to determine whether a given token offering falls within its perimeter.

### Peru: C4 Stablecoin RegimeRedEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

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 &#x27;activos virtuales&#x27; AML definition as other virtual assets, with no payments-specific or e-money-adjacent stablecoin regime identified.

### Peru: C5 Consumer ProtectionAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

The principal consumer-facing instrument identified is the SMV&#x27;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.

### Peru: C7 Cross-Border TransferAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

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.

Periodic update · new data 2026-10-25

#### Cross-Border Transfer

Since 1 August 2026, Peru&#x27;s Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAV) have been subject to the FATF Travel Rule, requiring transmission of originator and beneficiary information on each virtual-asset transfer. The obligation sits within Resolución SBS N.° 02648-2024, Capítulo VIII, with its implementation specifically given effect through Resolución SBS N.° 2423-2025, and followed a two-year transition period from the original 2024 anti-money-laundering registration norm that first brought PSAV under UIF-Perú and SBS supervision as obliged entities. This is the only cross-border control identified for crypto transfers in Peru; there is no separate capital-controls regime or crypto-specific export/import restriction beyond the transmission duty itself.

The obligation applies on a per-transfer, on-event basis rather than against an aggregate threshold, meaning every virtual-asset transfer by a PSAV is in scope for the transmission requirement once the rule is in force. No enforcement action under the rule has been identified since its 1 August 2026 effective date.

#### Outlook

The item to watch is how UIF-Perú and SBS apply the Travel Rule in practice, including any guidance on compliant data formats or thresholds for de minimis transfers, and whether sanctioning activity follows from non-compliance. No further cross-border development is pending; the broader crypto-licensing bill remains stalled in committee and would not, in its current form, add a new cross-border control beyond the Travel Rule already in force.

Periodic update · new data 2026-10-12

#### Cross-Border Transfer

Chapter VIII of Resolución SBS N.° 02648-2024 entered into force on 1 August 2026, following a two-year transition period from the resolution&#x27;s adoption. The chapter is Peru&#x27;s Travel Rule instrument: it requires Proveedores de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAVs) registered with UIF-Perú to transmit originator and beneficiary information accompanying virtual-asset transfers. A distinct and separately stated duty under the same chapter requires PSAVs to assess money-laundering and terrorist-financing risk specifically where a transfer involves a self-hosted wallet, reflecting the heightened AML/CFT concern regulators commonly attach to transfers that fall outside a VASP-to-VASP counterparty relationship.

The obligation attaches to the existing PSAV registration gateway rather than to any new licensing instrument. A PSAV domiciled or constituted in Peru that exchanges virtual assets for fiat currency, exchanges between virtual assets, transfers virtual assets, custodies virtual assets, or provides services linked to the offer or sale of a virtual asset, is already required to register as a UIF-Perú obliged entity and implement a SPLAFT anti-money-laundering programme under the pre-existing registration requirement. Chapter VIII&#x27;s Travel Rule duty is additive to that SPLAFT programme: a registered PSAV must now build the originator/beneficiary data-transmission capability and the self-hosted-wallet risk-assessment step into its existing AML compliance function.

The two-year transition period between the resolution&#x27;s original adoption and its 1 August 2026 effective date gave PSAVs operating in Peru a defined runway to build this capability, and the commencement date itself is now a settled fact rather than a forward projection: the transition period has concluded and the obligation is in force. No comprehensive crypto-licensing or authorisation regime exists in Peru to sit alongside this AML-perimeter extension; the registration-and-SPLAFT gateway remains the only regulatory touchpoint for a PSAV, and the proposed RUPIC crypto-exchange register, via Proyecto de Ley N.° 1042/2021-CR, remains in committee with no enactment date, so this Travel Rule duty for now stands on its own within an otherwise AML-only regulatory architecture for virtual-asset service providers.

#### Outlook

The near-term compliance question for PSAVs operating in Peru is less about the Travel Rule&#x27;s substantive content, which is now settled and in force, and more about how UIF-Perú supervises and enforces the originator/beneficiary data-transmission duty and the self-hosted-wallet risk-assessment step in practice. No primary enforcement or supervisory guidance on Chapter VIII&#x27;s practical application was located this cycle. Separately, whether Proyecto de Ley N.° 1042/2021-CR advances out of committee would materially change the regulatory picture for PSAVs by introducing the first dedicated licensing gateway alongside the existing AML-only registration requirement; its status after returning to committee on 19 March 2025 remains unconfirmed as at this cycle.

Periodic update · new data 2026-09-28

#### Cross-Border Transfer

Peru&#x27;s crypto cross-border transfer regime tightened materially this cycle with the entry into force, on 1 August 2026, of the Travel Rule chapter of SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024. Chapter VIII, Articles 24-25, had carried a two-year grace period from the resolution&#x27;s original issuance; that grace period expired on the stated date, and virtual-asset service providers, PSAVs, operating in Peru are now bound to obtain, retain and transmit originator and beneficiary information for virtual-asset transfers. This is a concrete, dated, in-force obligation rather than a proposed or draft measure, and it applies to PSAVs domiciled or incorporated in Peru as well as to Peru branches of foreign PSAVs, consistent with the pre-existing requirement that such entities register with UIF-Perú as AML/CFT reporting entities under the country&#x27;s general SPLAFT compliance-programme framework.

The obligation sits within a broader picture in which Peru has no comprehensive crypto-specific licensing or market-conduct statute: PSAVs are, and remain, AML-registration entities supervised for reporting-entity compliance rather than prudentially licensed or conduct-supervised participants. The Travel Rule therefore represents a narrowing of the AML gap specifically, not a broader formalisation of Peru&#x27;s crypto regulatory perimeter. Its significance is amplified by the scale of the market it now covers: secondary reporting estimates suggest approximately USD 28 billion in annual Peru-linked crypto-transaction volume, with roughly nine in ten of those transfers in dollar-denominated stablecoins, held by an estimated 4.5 million Peruvians primarily for savings and remittance purposes rather than speculative trading. A market of that scale operating for two years under a Travel Rule grace period, and now brought within its scope, represents a meaningful expansion of the population of transfers subject to originator/beneficiary information-transmission requirements.

Caution is warranted on implementation detail: the exact text of SBS Resolution No. 02648-2024 was not directly retrieved from the regulator&#x27;s own site this cycle, and article-level specifics — including a reported USD 1,000 transfer threshold referenced in secondary commentary — rely on Tier 3 secondary sources rather than the primary instrument itself. This is a gap in the sourcing available this cycle, not a gap in the underlying rule, and readers relying on the precise threshold or scope should treat that detail as provisional pending primary-source confirmation.

#### Outlook

With the grace period now closed, the near-term question for cross-border transfer compliance in Peru is one of enforcement and supervisory practice rather than further rule-making: how UIF-Perú applies the new Travel Rule obligation to PSAVs in day-to-day supervision, and whether the reported transfer threshold and specific data-transmission mechanics are confirmed against the primary resolution text. Separately, Peru&#x27;s pending Framework Law for the Commercialization of Cryptoassets, if it advances, could eventually layer a broader licensing structure on top of the AML-only cross-border regime described here, but its legislative status remains unconfirmed and its horizon is best treated as multi-year and uncertain.
