Reported Paraguay Ueno Bank collapse freezes 3M customers

Crypto market brief · November 7, 2026

According to reports, Paraguay seized Ueno Bank, freezing access for about 3 million customers, and AP reported on Nov. 6 that prosecutors ordered the arrest of former President Santiago Peña and ex-central bank chief Carlos Carvallo over suspected breach of trust. Sources conflict on Peña's status. Across crypto, total market cap is $2.57T (-2.2% in 24h) and the Fear & Greed index is at 25 (Extreme Fear).

Key points

Reuters (Nov. 5) estimated the state guarantee fund, covering up to 228.3 million guaraníes (about $38,000) per person, would fully cover about 97% of depositors.
Reports conflict on Peña: one says he resigned Nov. 5, while a Nov. 6 ITV/ClickOnDetroit item describes an impeachment trial resuming.
No post-Nov. 6 recovery totals, frozen-fund releases or on-chain activity have been reported for the collapse.
The U.S. Treasury reportedly cut MEXC off from the U.S. financial system over alleged $16 billion in illicit flows (reported Nov. 6).
BTC is at $75,975 (+0.4% 24h) and ETH at $2,244.60 (+0.7% 24h); XRP is down 2.2% in 24h and SOL is down 5.7% over 7 days.

Watch: Whether authorities confirm the status of frozen deposits and guarantee-fund payouts for Ueno Bank customers, and how the conflicting reports on Peña's status are resolved.
