Paraguay Imposes Sweeping Crypto Reporting Rule With $5,000 Activity Threshold

DNIT frames the move as a transparency step aligned with FATF guidance.

Overview

  • Residents and entities with more than $5,000 in annual cryptocurrency activity must file an annual disclosure under General Resolution No. 47/26.
  • Exchanges and platform operators are required to submit transaction-level data, including wallet addresses, networks, hashes, timestamps, amounts with USD values, fees, and counterparty details.
  • The rule covers a wide range of activity such as buying, selling, swaps, mining, staking, yield farming, airdrops, lending income, payments, and transfers between personal wallets.
  • Authorities state the measure creates no new taxes and marks the first phase of a broader oversight program that will continue through 2026.
  • Early market response includes exchanges updating policies to comply, while critics raise privacy and data-security concerns given Paraguay’s prior institutional data leaks and potential reputational risks.
