Argentina establishes VASP registration framework
Argentina creates a mandatory registration regime for virtual-asset service providers under CNV oversight.
On March 25, 2024, Argentina establishes VASP registration framework. Argentina creates a mandatory registration regime for virtual-asset service providers under CNV oversight.
The law and implementing CNV rules required virtual-asset service providers to register and meet compliance obligations. Although the framework applied broadly to digital assets, Bitcoin exchanges and wallet services operating in Argentina fell directly within it.
The event marks a change in the legal environment around Bitcoin access, custody, mining, reporting or financial products, with consequences determined by the specific jurisdiction and stage of the action.
