What the law actually says

Is iShares MSCI South Korea ETF trading legal in Ecuador?

Ecuador separates the two things a person can do with crypto, and answers them in opposite directions. Buying and selling it is not forbidden: the Banco Central del Ecuador stated on 24 January 2018 that the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin over the internet is not prohibited, while stressing that bitcoin is not legal tender and is not authorised as a means of payment for goods and services under article 94 of the Codigo Organico Monetario y Financiero.

What the contract is

The contract itself does not change by geography: a EWY perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
