Buying crypto in Peru: what to know
Legal- Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (SBS), through the Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera del Perú (UIF-Perú) — AML/CFT supervision of virtual asset service providers (PSAV); no licensing or prudential supervision
- Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV) — Securities regulator; states that crypto and tokens have no specific regulation or supervision and warns about risks
- Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP) — Central bank; has stated crypto is not money; does not regulate crypto
- Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria (SUNAT) — Tax authority
No specific crypto tax rule exists and SUNAT has declined to rule on crypto. Lawyers read current law as not taxing occasional crypto sales by individuals, since crypto is neither real estate nor a security; habitual trading may be taxed. Some guides instead apply second-category capital income (about 5% effective). SUNAT is preparing an information-reporting rule (target H2 2026) and a specific tax, possibly from 2027.
- Platforms are only supervised for anti-money-laundering; there is no investor protection or deposit guarantee.
- The SMV warns about crypto fraud and unregulated offers; only SMV- or SBS-authorised entities may advertise financial assets to raise public money (Law 30050).
- Tax treatment of gains is unsettled; keep purchase and sale records in case a tax applies from 2027.
- From Aug 2026 platforms must send sender and recipient data with crypto transfers (travel rule).
