The Association of Cryptocurrency Users of Spain got created in Granada by the lawyer Carlos Aránguez.
For a long time now, the Granada-born lawyer Carlos Aránguez has made significant efforts to defend the rights of digital assets users. His office was the first in Spain to adopt payment methods in crypto. In addition, he was the lawyer who worked with many victims of the alleged Ponzi Arbistar scheme that took effect in 2020.
The legal worker takes the lead on another project: he has just created the first Association of Cryptocurrency Users in Spain (AUC).
According to the Ideal media account, the lawyer and also teacher, together with Miguel Olmedo, former representative of the Faculty of Law, and the lawyer Gabriel Martínez Asensio, released this association a week ago with three main goals:
These partners primarily desire to encourage academic activities linked to digital assets such as awards, articles in scientific journals, and conferences. Secondly, legally advising users on the rights they have as consumers.
And finally, to send proposals to the legislator, they highlight and also express from the association that they want to claim rights before the authorities and companies in the sector. From a legal and social point of view, they showed their desire to teach what tokens, NFT, DeFi, and virtual assets are.
They added that it seems especially relevant to exercise widespread accusations in proceedings in defense of victims damaged by any illegal behavior linked to digital assets.
First Projects
The association, which does not receive public or private support, got set up in the Florentino García Santos building of the University of Granada, at number 48 Gran Vía. According to the various media outlets, in the first week of activity, they received more than 200 applications for admission, which are being carefully under study.
On the other hand, the association suggested that Bitcoin Day be celebrated on May 22, when Pizza Day arrives.
The Organization to Serve as a Guide
The association requests a guarantee of bank deposits, that digital currency exchanges and depositories get correctly registered, and that the securities commission warns of scams and needs a bit more time to get refined.
Although the association does not intend for crypto to become legal tender like in El Salvador, they desire Bitcoin to get considered a regulated and guaranteed means of payment, just like checks or credit or debit cards.
Likewise, the association firmly believes that entities, such as exchanges, should publicly bring their data in transparency portals, just how united society works to achieve their goals.
