@BlockSummitLA in Chile highlighted the growing focus on how blockchain technology can be used across Latin America, and what this means for policy. Compliance, permissions, privacy and protections all play an important role, but so do interoperability and open infrastructure. For policymakers, the challenge is creating clear frameworks that recognize these different pieces and the way they work together. As blockchain projects continue moving into practical applications, Latin American countries have an opportunity to develop policies that reflect their own markets, infrastructure and needs.
