Chile’s fintech ecosystem is thriving, positioning the country as a leading hub for financial innovation with crypto in Latin America. Currently, the Chilean government is investing heavily in robust cybersecurity measures to protect user data and maintain trust among customers and investors. It has also introduced AI-driven fraud detection to address risks like identity theft and phishing in the crypto space. I believe if Chile maintains this stability, it may soon become a leader in the crypto hub.
