Dramatic market swings in recent days have brought renewed attention to sector volatility. Questions abound given the newness of the technology and its potential for massive disruption, both at the macro and micro levels. Several countries are actively considering joining El Salvador in adopting crypto in the conduct of official business. Financial institutions and private entities across all sectors, too, are faced with new realities brought on by increasingly common commercial crypto use.

It’s time to take a closer look at the policy considerations of crypto in the Americas.
