Banco de México's Circular 4/2019, published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 8 March 2019, states the policy in its own recitals - it is considered appropriate to keep a healthy distance between virtual assets and the financial system - and then enforces it: credit institutions and licensed fintech institutions (ITF) may carry out virtual-asset operations only as internal operations, only with Banxico's prior authorisation, and an application is expressly ineligible for that authorisation where the institution intends to provide its clients directly with exchange, transmission or custody of virtual assets. So a Mexican bank or an authorised fintech cannot sell you crypto; that trade happens at venues that sit outside the ITF licence, and outside the consumer protections attached to it. Nothing here prohibits a person from buying, holding or selling crypto.
A perpetual on AAPL tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
