The growing popularity of cryptomones such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, whose market value has come to quintuplicate in recent times, reaching 3 billion dollars point to a capacity to destabilize markets that it requires approaching with a global regulatory framework, as indicated by the Fund International Monetary (IMF).

In particular, the new obligations of information for the CASP originators and beneficiaries in the two extremes of a transfer of cryptoassets.”

The proposal also establishes that all organizations that manage virtual assets must handle information on the identification of users since anonymous crypto-asset wallets will be prohibitedby the new law.
