First Cryptocurrency ATM Reportedly Installed in Uruguay
O aparente primeiro caixeiro automático de criptomonedas instalouse en Uruguai, desenvolvido como unha iniciativa conxunta entre Urubit e Inbierto, dúas empresas criptográficas nacionais. Isto supón un fito para o país, que segundo as estimacións ten entre 40 e 50 usuarios de criptomoedas, cuxa vía principal para comprar criptos depende dos mercados peer-to-peer.
Uruguai entra na era Crypto ATM
Uruguay has received its reported first cryptocurrency ATM in its territory, which is already instalado in Punta del Este, a city located in the southeast of the country. The cryptocurrency machine was developed by two national crypto companies: Urubit and Inbierto. The former focused on the software part of the system, and the latter provided the hardware for the ATM.
Adolfo Varela, CEO de Inbierto, afirma que un dos obxectivos desta máquina é crear confianza no mercado de criptomonedas do país, onde a maior parte do comercio de criptomonedas ocorre en mercados peer-to-peer que non poden pasar pola banca por falta de regulacións. Cun caixeiro automático de criptomonedas, dise que se elimina a posibilidade de ser vítima dunha estafa. Varela cre que seguirán crecendo e estendendo a súa rede de caixeiros automáticos criptográficos por todo o país. El afirmou:
Pretendemos seguir medrando en Maldonado, despois Colonia, Montevideo e para finais de ano queremos ter cobertura en todo o territorio nacional. Con isto pasounos que outros países nos consultaron para poder instalalo.
The installed crypto ATM supports only five cryptocurrencies (which include two national tokens): ferret token, urubit, bitcoin, binance moeda (BNB) E binance USD (BUSD). The companies have not introduced Ethereum support to the machines because they rely on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to process transactions. Varela explained that Ethereum’s fees would deter users from using the machine, and that’s why BSC integration was opted for instead.
Regulación dunha Zona Gris no País
Cryptocurrency regulation remains as a gray area in the country, but the central bank issued a afirmación in October last year, declaring these assets were not legal or illegal, and that citizens could use them while being aware of the risks they carry.
In a document emitido in December, the Central Bank of Uruguay establishes a roadmap for regulating crypto assets, proposing to review current laws and make changes to include them in various existing regulations, instead of creating a virtual asset law to encompass the universe of these assets in just one project.
