Today, Celo upgraded its OP-Succinct Lite implementation on mainnet to use SP1 Hypercube from @SuccinctLabs

SP1 Hypercube introduces a new proving architecture that reduces proof latency and improves efficiency, further strengthening Celo's zk fault-proof infrastructure

🇲🇽 MÉXICO PRESENTÓ ESTA SEMANA SU PRIMER MARCO LEGAL DE STABLECOIN PESO

El senador Alejandro Murat, de Morena, entregó por escrito el 6 de mayo la iniciativa AVE: Activos Virtuales Estables Referenciados en Moneda
Nacional.

Diez leyes reformadas en un solo decreto. Es la pieza más importante de regulación cripto en México en una década.

QUÉ EXIGE EL MARCO

Cinco requisitos prudenciales. Sin excepciones.

Autorización previa de Banco de México para emitir.

Respaldo íntegro uno a uno con activos líquidos elegibles.

Reservas segregadas y auditadas en custodia regulada.

Convertibilidad inmediata a valor nominal en pesos.

Y los modelos algorítmicos sin respaldo verificable quedarían prohibidos.

LA ARQUITECTURA INSTITUCIONAL

Banxico es la autoridad primaria. La Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores supervisa emisores.

Las diez leyes tocadas incluyen Banco de
México, Ley Fintec, Instituciones de Crédito, Mercado de Valores, leyes antilavado y el Código Penal Federal.

No es una ley nueva. Es una
modernización del andamiaje completo.

POR QUÉ AHORA

Tres razones simultáneas.

Estados Unidos aprobó la GENIUS Act en julio de 2025. Stablecoins en dólares ya tienen marco legal claro y cobertura federal.

Brasil y El Salvador avanzaron primero en Latinoamérica.

México responde para no quedarse fuera de la conversación regional sobre infraestructura financiera digital.

EL TEXTO LITERAL DE LA INICIATIVA

Cito. Estos tokens no son moneda, no son curso legal, no desplazan al peso. Cierra cita. Es decir, son tubería privada con reglas públicas.

No reemplazan al peso digital del Banxico cuando exista. Coexisten.

LECTURA DE IMPACTO

Si la iniciativa pasa, México queda con tres categorías de pesos digitales potenciales coexistiendo. El peso CBDC del Banxico cuando se emita.

Stablecoins privadas reguladas bajo AVE. Y los stablecoins extranjeros como USDC y USDT que seguirán circulando en el mercado.

Para emisores fintech mexicanos, abre la puerta a competir con producto local denominado en pesos sin tener que importar infraestructura estadounidense.

Para usuarios, garantía 1 a 1 verificable y custodia regulada. Para Banxico, supervisión directa del flujo. Para inversión institucional, claridad jurisdiccional.

EL CAMINO POLÍTICO

Morena tiene mayoría en ambas cámaras. La iniciativa va a comisiones, después a discusión, después a votación.

El compromiso entre tracking financiero, soberanía monetaria, y apertura a infraestructura digital está balanceado en el texto.

Camino legislativo favorable.

QUÉ MIRAR EN LAS PRÓXIMAS SEMANAS

Tres señales.

Primera. Qué stablecoins privadas ya operando en México (USDC, USDT,
MXNB de Bitso) se ajustan al marco AVE o piden regularse bajo otra figura.

Segunda. Qué bancos mexicanos solicitan licencia AVE para emitir su propio stablecoin peso.

Tercera. Si el Banxico acelera o desacelera su propio piloto CBDC en respuesta.

EL CONTEXTO MAYOR

Mientras Estados Unidos define jurisdicción cripto con la CLARITY Act, votada en Senado este jueves 14 de mayo. Y Wall Street institucional acelera adopción tokenizada.

México se posiciona para no ser solo
consumidor de infraestructura financiera digital extranjera.

Quiere emitir, supervisar, y cobrar comisión local.

Tu peso digital, finalmente, va a tener reglas.
