29.10.202008:43 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for October 29, 2020

Crypto Industry Outlook:

Colombia now has the highest number of Bitomats in Latin America. According to CoinATMRadar, Bogota, the country's capital, has 34, followed by Medellin with 11, and Bucaramanga and Cali with 4. Other cities with at least one are Barranquilla, Cartagena, Cucuta, La Hormiga and Pereira.

Until recently, countries like Venezuela and Argentina were more frequently discussed as crypto hotspots in terms of regional adoption due to factors such as political and economic turmoil. Colombia, however, took important steps towards regulating the country's crypto realm, and its government approved a pilot program to test crypto transactions in September. The pilot, which runs in the recently established regulatory sandbox, will run until December 31.

In September, Colombia's Ministry of Information Technology and Communications, or MinTIC, published a draft of a guide urging the public sector to adopt blockchain technology, including crypto payments.

Data released in August by Statista showed that cryptocurrency adoption hit double-digit values in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Mexico and Chile.
