Privacy coins in Mexico

In Mexico you can buy Zcash through registered exchanges. Monero is restricted on most domestic platforms. Mexico's Fintech Law (2018) is the main framework, with the CNBV as supervisor. Banxico restricts banks from offering crypto services directly under Circular 4/2019, so retail flow happens through registered exchanges.
