Chile’s government classifies Bitcoin as electronic money with no legal tender. This might change as the country’s lawmakers work towards legalizing the use of Bitcoin as a form of payment for goods and services. Chile is also considering the creation of its own development of a central bank digital currency.

In November, congress submitted a proposal to allow and regulate the use of Bitcoin as legal tender. If the law passes, the new legislation will allow the government to form new regulatory measures for financial institutions regarding the use of cryptocurrency custody services.

The proposed law notes that the exchange rate for Bitcoin will be decided by the free market. Prices may be expressed in Bitcoin, but it will be mandatory to define them in Chilean pesos too.

New tax rules will also be implemented toward earnings generated from cryptocurrency-related assets. Bitcoin is exempt from Chile’s Value Added Tax laws.
