Abstract
This study analyzes the legal implications of the operations with cryptocurrencies in Mexico, which are offered by financial technology institutions. Even though there is a Fintech Law, the regulation is not clear, and laws are lacking. This scenario is a consequence of categorizing the cryptocurrencies as digital assets but omitting in other laws like the Tax, Civil or Commercial Code. The conclusion assembles the possibility of extending and providing greater certainty to cryptocurrencies within the Mexican legislation by harmonizing the laws.
