We Chose El Salvador

Clear. Purpose-built. Efficient. 

VLRM Markets S.A. de C.V. is a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) licensed and regulated by the Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales in El Salvador (CNAD). El Salvador´s Digital Assets Issuance Law is one of the few frameworks in the world written specifically for digital asset issuance, rather than adapted to it.

That gives issuers regulatory clarity and a cost conventional markets cannot match.

The Bigger Picture

VLRM Markets is part of the Valereum Group. With an innovative yet prudent approach, we’re building on decades of combined expertise in TradFi, capital markets, blockchain, law and governance. We work with issuers, investors, intermediaries, and technology partners to lead the shift to digital asset markets.
