After the closing of Chilean Exchange bank accounts Buda <\/a><\/strong>and CryptoMKT<\/a> <\/strong>by banks Ita\u00fa and Scotiabank, Felipe Larra\u00edn – Minister of Finance in Chile, has declared that he has opened a communication channel with the Central Bank to take measures regarding the regulation of cryptocurrencies<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Closure of accounts to Buda and CryptoMKT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As revealed in a statement, one of the banks told them that the accounts were closed “because they were instructed not to open accounts to anyone that is related to cryptocurrencies”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This statement begins with the title “Chile can make a fool of itself or stand out worldwide”<\/strong> followed by “we are killing an industry before studying and understanding its reach.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the letter signed by both exchanges, they speak their concern about the restrictions they are being subjected by fear and ignorance of the banks towards the world of cryptocurrencies or perhaps because of strategy.<\/p>\n

And the difference with countries such as Japan, Estonia, Switzerland or Singapore that move forward on issues of cryptoasset regulation, while they can not even have a bank account.<\/p>\n

You can read the full original statement they have posted on their Twitter account below:<\/p>\n
