What the law actually says

Is Gram 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

A perpetual on GRAM 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.
