Right now, Paraguay’s Congress is carefully examining three different pieces of legislation regarding the oversight and administration of cryptocurrencies within the country. These bills, introduced by members of both the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, are intended to create rules for the digital currency and crypto mining sectors.
In the Chamber of Deputies, Derlis Rodríguez has put forth a bill. This bill aims to allow the use of a digital guaraní and recognizes Bitcoin as valid tender. However, it emphasizes the importance of implementing robust regulations to minimize risks such as money laundering and tax evasion linked to crypto transactions.

Details of Proposed Regulations
A Senate proposal suggests a short-term prohibition (lasting 180 days) on actions involving cryptocurrencies, such as producing, saving, and selling digital assets, until proper regulations can be established.
The Senate aims to tackle pressing concerns caused by crypto mining operations’ clandestine electrical hookups, which allegedly result in substantial power wastage. Additionally, this interim ban intends to halt unsupervised actions potentially enabling financial misconduct.
Deputy Yamil Esgaib has put forward a new legislative proposal that underscores the importance of giving local authorities control over the cryptocurrency sector in Paraguay. This proposition mandates anyone dealing with the buying, selling, promotion, or safekeeping of virtual assets within the country to register and adhere to national laws.
These bills have the power to change how business is conducted in the global digital economy. With its abundant renewable energy, the country finds itself at a pivotal moment, poised to boost its digital economy.
