What the law actually says

Is Litecoin trading legal in Chile?

Chile treats crypto as a lawful, named category of financial asset. Ley 21.521 (the 'Ley Fintec', promulgated 22 December 2022 and published in the Diario Oficial on 4 January 2023) defines 'activos financieros virtuales o criptoactivos' in its Article 3 as a digital representation of units of value, goods or services other than money, and folds them into the statutory idea of an 'instrumento financiero'. An individual may buy, hold and sell crypto, and the tax authority treats the gains as ordinary taxable income.

What the contract is

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

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage

Buying $1,000 of LTC at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss below your entry before you walk away.

Tax note — Chile

No crypto-specific rate was found. The SII classifies crypto trading income under Art. 20 No. 5 of the Income Tax Law, so it carries the general income taxes (Impuesto de Primera Categoría plus Impuesto Global Complementario or Impuesto Adicional), and it holds that the sale of crypto is not subject to VAT because it falls on intangible goods. The ruling states no rate figures and none are supplied here.
