Here's an article on this, from Bitcoin Magazine:

On April 27, Reuters reported that Cuba was approving cryptocurrency service providers, pending the receipt of a license from the central bank. A teacher at Colombia's Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali and former Cuban central bank economist, Pavel Vidal, reportedly stated:
