The Dominican Republic has no dedicated crypto-asset licensing statute. The Junta Monetaria's Resolución JM 210129-02 (29 January 2021) and reiterated BCRD communiqués establish that virtual assets are unregulated, unsupervised, and enjoy no legal protection. Regulated banks and credit unions are separately restricted by the Superintendencia de Bancos (SB) from facilitating crypto transactions, but this binds only supervised institutions, not private individuals. SIMV treats crypto trading and offerings as falling outside the Ley de Mercado de Valores No. 249-17 perimeter, i.e., not requiring securities registration.

Dominican regulation does not adopt a differentiated token taxonomy. Resolución JM 210129-02, Art. 4(a) defines a single undifferentiated 'Activo Virtual' category encompassing all cryptoassets, with no distinction between security tokens, e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, utility tokens, stablecoins, or NFTs.

T2 · FATF/GAFILATFATF/GAFILAT — Dominican regulation defines a single undifferentiated 'Activo Virtual' category under Art. 4(a) of Resolución JM 210129-02, with no statutory sub-classification distinguishing security tokens, e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, utility tokens, stablecoins, or NFTs.retrieved M4bindingin force
T2 · FATFFATF — No sub-category-specific rules for stablecoins, NFTs, or asset-referenced tokens have been issued by any Dominican regulator; all virtual assets remain grouped under the same unregulated, unsupervised classification.retrieved M3non-bindinga fact about the regime
No Dominican regulator has issued rules specific to on-chain activities such as staking, DeFi lending, DEX operation, mining, node operation, validation, or tokenization. These activities remain within the general unregulated/unsupervised 'activo virtual' posture established by BCRD/Junta Monetaria, with no activity-specific instrument identified in this pass.

No stablecoin-specific issuance authorisation, reserve requirement, redemption right, disclosure, or systemic designation regime exists in the Dominican Republic. Stablecoins are not distinguished from other cryptoassets and fall within the same unregulated 'Activo Virtual' category confirmed by BCRD communiqués.

There is no crypto-specific consumer protection statute. SIMV issues public risk-disclosure warnings about unregulated investment schemes (including crypto/FOREX/Ponzi-type structures) under its Circular 02/23 warning framework, and SB issues 'Circulares de Advertencia' identifying entities that misrepresent themselves as authorized financial or exchange intermediaries, a mechanism capable of capturing unauthorized crypto-related schemes.

DGII Consulta 20-Criptomonedas (10 October 2023) is a genuine primary tax ruling confirming that gains from converting cryptoassets into pesos or other recognized liquid assets are taxable income under Código Tributario Arts. 267, 268, 296 and 297. The same ruling confirms no dedicated transaction-reporting registry exists for crypto activity. VAT/ITBIS treatment of simple peer-to-peer crypto exchange remains an open, unresolved question in DGII's own consulta record.

BCRD confirms virtual assets are not treated as foreign currency under the exchange-rate regime, meaning crypto conversion sits outside standard FX controls. No crypto-specific cross-border reporting threshold exists. The FATF/GAFILAT Mutual Evaluation confirms general AML/CFT cross-border cooperation among BCRD, SB, SIMV and DGII, but does not extend this explicitly to virtual-asset transfers (context only; substantive AML claims are subscribed from FIM).

Crypto AML/CFT obligations are subscribed from the FIM (financial-integrity) module per fleet doctrine; no substantive aml_cft_regime claims are produced in this baseline. For disambiguation context only: SB Circular Núm. 005/22 (Instructivo sobre Debida Diligencia, 3rd version) defines 'Proveedor de Servicio de Activo Virtual' at §2.50 and governs how supervised EIF/cambiario/fiduciary entities apply customer due diligence to virtual-asset counterparties; it is a due-diligence circular, not a licensing or ban instrument.

Disclosure model: module cards load OPEN; standing positions render in full; sub-briefs and jurisdiction briefs load as a clamped teaser with an explicit “read full” control carrying the true word count; earlier updates stay collapsed behind a counted summary. No text is hidden without disclosing how much of it there is.
Sentinel-fed modules receive no special rendering treatment. sentinel_feed is an attribution chip only: it does not suppress content, does not generate an absence reason code, and does not exclude the module from any count, filter, search index or export on this page.
Family taxonomy is renderer-level presentation config, not a JID field. Colour is always duplicated in text and is never the sole carrier of meaning.
