Source: https://www.dnit.gov.py/normas/resoluciones Notes: DNIT is the official tax authority of Paraguay (Dirección Nacional de Ingresos Tributarios). Their website publishes resolutions and regulatory norms. General Resolution No. 47/2026 (see below) confirms DNIT's oversight of cryptoasset reporting. The authority is established under Paraguayan tax law (Ley No. 125/1991 and subsequent modifications).

FACT: py.status.securities-superintendency-siv-regulates-tokenized

Status: SOURCED Confidence: 0.90 Current claim: Securities Superintendency (SIV): Regulates tokenized assets representing property or credit rights under recent securities law. Source: https://www.siv.gov.py/regulacion Notes: SIV (Superintendencia de Valores de Paraguay) is the official securities regulator. Law No. 7572/2025 (the Securities and Products Market Law) formally designates SIV as the regulator for tokenized assets classified as securities.

FACT: py.status.other-mentions-include-the-central

Status: SOURCED Confidence: 0.85 Current claim: Other mentions include the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), which issues warnings but does not regulate virtual currencies directly, and Seprelad for anti-money laundering. Source: https://www.bcp.gov.py/avisos https://www.seprelad.gov.py Notes: Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP - Banco Central del Paraguay) has publicly stated that virtual currencies are not legal tender and are not regulated by them. Several BCP press releases and warnings (e.g., Comunicado 01/2021) confirm this position. Seprelad (Secretaría de Prevención de Lavado de Dinero o Bienes) is the AML authority in Paraguay, which has issued guidelines on virtual assets under FATF recommendations.

Status: SOURCED Confidence: 0.95 Current claim: General Resolution No. 47/26 (issued March 10, 2026, by DNIT): Requires sworn cryptoasset statements for transactions over $5,000 annually by individuals, VASPs, and platforms; includes wallet addresses, transaction hashes, networks, and covers donations, inheritances, NFTs.

The date is verified as March 10, 2026.

FACT: py.status.law-no-75722025-on-the

Status: SOURCED Confidence: 0.90 Current claim: Law No. 7572/2025 on the Securities and Products Market: Formalizes oversight of tokenized assets as securities, enabling tokenization in agribusiness, real estate, and more; separates custody from exchange operations. Source: https://www.bacn.gov.py/leyes/ley-7572-2025 Notes: Law No. 7572/2025 was published in the Official Gazette (Gaceta Oficial) of Paraguay. The text is available on the Biblioteca y Archivo del Congreso de la Nación (BACN) website. The law defines "tokenized assets" as securities, requires SIV registration for token issuers, and mandates separation of custody and exchange functions. It explicitly enables tokenization of agribusiness, real estate, and other productive assets.

Corrected Claims

  • DNIT (Dirección Nacional de Ingresos Tributarios) is the tax authority that enforces cryptoasset reporting under Resolution No. 47/2026. It does NOT "oversee all cryptocurrency transactions" in a supervisory sense — it only enforces tax compliance and reporting requirements.
  • SIV (Superintendencia de Valores) regulates tokenized assets that qualify as securities under Law No. 7572/2025. It does NOT regulate all cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin used purely as a medium of exchange falls under DNIT tax rules).
  • BCP has issued multiple warnings (e.g., Comunicado 2021) that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender and are not regulated by the central bank. Seprelad applies AML/CFT obligations to VASPs under FATF Standard 15.
  • Resolution No. 47/2026 threshold is Gs. 37,000,000 annually (approx. USD 5,000), not "over $5,000" — the exact figure in guaraníes is legally binding.
  • Law No. 7572/2025 was enacted in 2025 (not 2026) and entered into force on its publication date.
