Puerto Rico’s Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC) will be forming an advisory council to promote Blockchain use for businesses in the country, local news outlet El Nuevo Dîa reported Thursday, March 15.
Department secretary Manuel Laboy, announced the creation of the council during the Blockchain Unbound conference that took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico this week from March 14-16.
Cointelegraph recently published an Expert Take on Puerto Rico as a “crypto tax paradise” due to the potential to sell crypto holdings without paying any taxes.
The Blockchain advisory council will be made up of members of both the private and public sector, including Chief Information Officer of the Government of Puerto Rico Luis Arocho, Commissioner of Financial Institutions George Joyner, and Secretary of Treasury Raúl Maldonado for the public sector.
