Cuba publishes Resolution 215 governing virtual assets and VASPs
Cuba published Resolution 215 of the Central Bank of Cuba, establishing rules for the use of certain virtual assets in commercial transactions and for licensing virtual-asset service providers. The measure was technology-neutral rather than Bitcoin-specific, but it created a legal framework under which Bitcoin-related services could operate subject to central-bank authorization.
