PANews reported on November 23 that, according to Crowdfund Insider, citing local media reports, the Trinidad and Tobago Parliament has passed a bill aimed at regulating cryptocurrencies and related service providers. The "Virtual Assets and Virtual Asset Service Providers Act 2025," first introduced by the Minister of Finance in September, establishes a framework for the licensing and regulation of virtual asset activities in the Caribbean nation.

The bill, first introduced by the finance minister last September, is closely linked to Trinidad and Tobago's need to meet anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing standards ahead of the fifth round of mutual assessments by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CATF), including an on-site review scheduled for March 2026.
