Peru's largest bank, Banco Credit Peru (BCP), has received approval from national regulators to launch the country's first regulated crypto-asset pilot platform, Cryptococos. Some eligible customers can buy and hold Bitcoin (BTC) and USDC on the platform, which is hosted by US crypto infrastructure company BitGo.
The platform is a closed system, all transactions are conducted only internally, and transfer to external wallets is prohibited to ensure anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing compliance. Participating users need to be existing customers of BCP and complete a threat and risk assessment. This marks the first time that the Peruvian banking industry has been officially licensed to enter the digital asset space, BCP said.
