“They state that the Bank of Mexico, along with other authorities in Mexico, will closely observe their development and infiltration in the country, and, if deemed necessary, they will look into regulating these virtual assets.”
Translation: We will get back to you once we figure out how to tax you for your bit coin holdings.

same as some other countries. The government just mentioned the negative side of bitcoin and did not support the activities with bitcoin.

Nothing new. The Bank of Mexico has been hostile to the digital currency, right from the beginning. Their fears are justified too. Mexico had serious problems with inflation in the past. That means that there is an incentive for the people, to use a currency which is guarded against inflation, such as Bitcoin.

I have heard reports that even some of the smaller banks are directly owned by the drug lords. But still, the American banks have no problem in dealing with them.

i laugh how the people posting above me seem to have read the title, and just made assumptions based on the title. no research, no actual checking of the facts. coindesk is writing an opinion. this is called propaganda. the actual notice from the mexican bank is NOT at all BANNING bitcoins. it is just a standard 'investment risk' notification. all banks across the world have to by law warn people that any investment is risky where there is no guaranteed contract of profits, and that people can also lose aswell as gain. this is not a bitcoin BAN. i hope that people will learn to research better in the future instead of starting off rumours that are untrue and only backed by opinions of second rate media now a rough translation of the actual notice from the mexican bank bitcoins are risk bitcoins are not legal tender banks will not directly hand over bitcoins as a financial product bitcoins volatility is a risk that can give both gains and losses investors themselves have to assume the risks mexican banks will not regulate or monitor bitcoin mexican banks off no guarantee's or protections thos businesses or individuals using peso's need to follow standard money regulation
no where does it say it will close accounts just because a business uses bitcoin. they will however close accounts if that business (which also touches peso's) does not follow the Peso's regulations

US is testing a few things through its proxy neighbors. Nothing new.
In all seriousness, the cartels are picking up on this concept gradually. There is literally no way for investigators to stop the flow of proceeds from their criminal enterprises via crypto currencies. There are stash houses throughout the US in upper middle class neighborhoods with rooms stuffed in US currency that the cartels cannot get back south across the border. With all forms of crypto this problem is solved. However, the immediate conversion back into local fiat is another issue that would attract attention if it were even possible in one transaction. I cannot fathom someone sitting on the south side of the border with a U-Haul full of cash just waiting to exchange it for crypto. There is also the laundering aspect. I suspect quite a bit is being shifted to Western Europe, split multiple times, and funneled through various legitimate connections (businesses likely connected to South American exports) and returned into Mexico via fiat banking as profits. The old days of stuffing a million in cash in the dashboard, doors, and engine compartment are numbered. Sometimes smaller amounts are sent through as "suicide" loads to distract from the mother load coming right behind. Yep, law enforcement is light years behind in technology with the exception of a couple.

I have some old photos of ones around the DFW area in TX. It is a scary feeling walking in and finding that stuff because we knew there were some heavy guns within a block or two ready to rescue the currency. So far the cartels have avoided the kind of open conflict with US law enforcement unlike they do with LE in their own countries. As the noose tightens this reservation is changing from one of not stirring the sleeping bear to one of necessity to retain their profits. An old FBI Agent teaching us intelligence information said that the level if violence we see in Mexico against its government is the same level of violence the IS will see in 5 years. He told us this three years ago and it coming true if you keep up with the headlines. Bitcoin can eliminate unnecessary violence if you ask me.

We had what could be termed a "statistical outlier " number of cash only businesses in the city.
