The doc is meant to facilitate cooperation between the 2 establishments for the crypto sector, the SEPRELAD said on its web site. The SEPRELAD and CNAD can even collaborate within the detection and management of unlicensed crypto operations in Paraguay, the company mentioned, and strengthen anti-money laundering practices.
