  Crypto businesses in Puerto Rico are subject to certain regulations to ensure compliance and protect investors. The main regulatory body overseeing crypto activities is the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCFI). They require businesses to obtain a license to operate and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Additionally, businesses must adhere to tax regulations and report their crypto transactions. It's important for businesses to stay updated on any changes or new regulations that may arise.
