Crypto trading is Regulated in Peru. There are currently 54 exchanges listed as available to users in Peru. Always verify that an exchange is legally permitted to serve users in your jurisdiction before depositing funds; check with SMV for the latest licensing information.
Our list above shows the exchanges currently accepting users from Peru. Availability can change if an exchange withdraws from a market or gains new regulatory approval, so always check the exchange's terms of service to confirm access for Peruvian residents before registering.
Exchanges regulated by SMV are typically required to hold client assets separately from company funds and implement robust AML and cybersecurity controls. However, unlike traditional bank deposits, crypto holdings are not usually covered by government compensation schemes. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage and only keep trading amounts on exchanges.
In Peru, the primary crypto regulatory authority is SMV. Exchanges operating in Peru should hold the relevant registration or licence from SMV. Always verify a platform’s regulatory status before depositing.
Tax treatment of crypto gains varies significantly by jurisdiction. Most countries with established crypto frameworks, including the EU, UK, US, and Australia, treat crypto as a taxable asset subject to capital gains tax. Some jurisdictions such as the UAE apply no personal income or capital gains tax. Always consult a local tax adviser for guidance specific to your situation in Peru.
Peruvian traders will find here a reviewed selection of crypto exchanges and brokers accessible in Peru, evaluated for regulation, fees, available assets, and security standards. Crypto trading platforms in Peru are overseen by the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV), which does not yet provide a dedicated regulatory framework for digital assets. As a result, most exchanges serving Peruvian residents operate from abroad, and local protections such as fund segregation or investor compensation are not guaranteed.
