Argentina requires virtual-asset service providers (PSAV) to register with the CNV pursuant to an AML-law reform designating the securities regulator as the crypto registrant authority, while the BCRA maintains a standing prohibition on regulated banks offering crypto services — a prohibition reportedly under review for possible relaxation as of early 2026. The regime is transitional: registration is mandatory for VASPs, but the bank-level restriction remains unsettled.

Argentina has no MiCA-style statutory taxonomy distinguishing e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, or utility tokens. Crypto assets are generically termed 'activos virtuales' for AML/registration purposes. The CNV may apply a facts-and-circumstances 'valor negociable' (negotiable security) test under the Ley de Mercado de Capitales to determine whether a given token falls under full securities regulation, but this is assessed case-by-case rather than through a published taxonomy.

No dedicated Argentine legal regime addresses staking, DeFi lending, DEX operation, mining, node operation, validator activity, or tokenization specifically. These activities are not separately licensed and fall outside the PSAV registry unless they involve custody or exchange-type services provided to third parties, in which case general PSAV registration obligations may attach by extension.

Argentina has no dedicated stablecoin issuance-authorisation, reserve-requirement, or redemption-right framework. USD-pegged stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC, DAI) are widely used by residents as an inflation hedge and circulate as generic 'activos virtuales,' subject only to the general PSAV/AML registry when intermediated by a registered provider — there is no systemic-designation regime for large stablecoin issuers.

PSAV registrants are expected to satisfy general client-protection conditions set by the CNV — including protection of users, operational security and efficiency, and safeguarding of public savings — as conditions attaching to registration; Argentina's general consumer-protection statute (Ley 24.240) also applies to crypto-asset consumers on a non-crypto-specific basis.

Crypto-asset gains realized by Argentine tax residents fall under the amended Impuesto a las Ganancias (income tax) regime covering 'monedas digitales,' and crypto holdings are includible in the Impuesto sobre los Bienes Personales (wealth tax) base for resident individuals. A 0.6% financial-transaction tax on bank credits/debits was extended to crypto exchanges' banked transactions in 2021. No crypto-specific VAT (IVA) regime has been separately codified.

Argentina imposes broad currency-exchange controls ('cepo cambiario') on fiat FX flows but has no crypto-specific outbound-transfer restriction; cross-border crypto movements are not separately capped by BCRA, though large or suspicious transfers may trigger AML reporting obligations handled under the UIF regime (out of scope for this baseline).

This module is subscribed from the Financial Integrity Monitor (FIM) aml_ctf baseline per fleet module-subscription rules; no independent AML/CFT claims are produced here for Argentina in the crypto DR pass. For disambiguation only: the Unidad de Información Financiera (UIF) is Argentina's AML/CFT financial intelligence unit and has designated PSAV as obligated subjects ('sujetos obligados') under Ley 25.246 as amended by Ley 27.739; this context is informational only and not an independent crypto-baseline finding.

Disclosure model: module cards load OPEN; standing positions render in full; sub-briefs and jurisdiction briefs load as a clamped teaser with an explicit “read full” control carrying the true word count; earlier updates stay collapsed behind a counted summary. No text is hidden without disclosing how much of it there is.
Sentinel-fed modules receive no special rendering treatment. sentinel_feed is an attribution chip only: it does not suppress content, does not generate an absence reason code, and does not exclude the module from any count, filter, search index or export on this page.
Family taxonomy is renderer-level presentation config, not a JID field. Colour is always duplicated in text and is never the sole carrier of meaning.
