CNAD propels El Salvador to the top of the global digital regulation ranking

El Salvador has reached a historic milestone by positioning itself as the global leader in digital asset regulation, surpassing Switzerland for the first time in the global ranking published by Coincub.
This achievement is the result of a visionary strategy that combines innovation, legal certainty, and openness to technological development. The National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) has played a fundamental role in this progress, establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework that covers everything from licenses and stablecoins to market infrastructure.
Unlike other countries with traditional regulatory frameworks, El Salvador adopted a “clean slate” approach, allowing for the creation of a system from scratch—more agile and better adapted to the new dynamics of the digital market. This approach has been key in avoiding the complexity and slowness that characterize some developed markets.
As an independent entity, CNAD not only enforces strict standards but also fosters innovation, consolidating El Salvador as a benchmark in the decentralized digital economy.
This international recognition reaffirms the country’s commitment to modern and efficient regulation and highlights CNAD’s role in building a strong and transparent digital financial ecosystem.
