Since Bitcoin was adopted as legal currency in El Salvador<\/a>, the crypto world is watching and waiting for who will be next. There could be a few South American countries to vote for legalizing crypto and paving the way for crypto infrastructure sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n Leaders from countries including Panama, Paraguay, Mexico, Argentina, Nicaragua, and Brazil, have all expressed support for cryptocurrencies and some are already moving to introduce legislation supporting the the digital currency.<\/p>\n Panamanian Congressman Gabriel Silva is preparing a bill to be unveiled next month that calls for widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country as legal tender. Still further, the bill could potentially offer incentives for businesses that are in the crypto space such as tax exemptions and work permits.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Why Bitcoin Declared Legal Tender Could Have Major Implications<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Shortly after the announcement by El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele<\/a>, Silva tweeted knowingly about how important the adoption of cryptocurrencies is for keeping up with, and right now frankly leading, the rest of the world.<\/p>\n Esto es importante. Y Panam\u00e1 no se puede quedar atr\u00e1s. Si queremos ser un verdadero hub de tecnolog\u00eda y emprendimiento tenemos que apoyar las criptomonedas<\/p>\n Estaremos preparando una propuesta para presentar en la Asamblea.

It is certainly fitting that a progressive young leader paving the way for crypto is available for contact and wants anyone interested to be involved in the project.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Paraguay is also aligning itself to become the crypto capital in South America. Congressman Carlos Rejala is leading the way with a bill that will entice crypto businesses and crypto mining companies to operate within the country. If this first bill is approved, he plans to present a second bill legalizing bitcoin and other crypto currencies as legal money within the country.<\/p>\n Como ya lo dec\u00eda hace un buen tiempo, nuestro pa\u00eds necesita avanzar de la mano de la nueva generaci\u00f3n.
