The legal situation in Mexico
Mexico is not on Hyperliquid's restricted list. Under the 2018 Fintech Law, only CNBV-authorised financial technology institutions may operate with virtual assets, and banks and brokerages are barred from buying, selling or holding crypto; the CNBV reaffirmed this in May 2026. Individuals may legally trade crypto. We found no rule on crypto derivatives for retail and no action naming Hyperliquid.
