###### Latest update · 4 November 2026

#### Lead Signal

Argentina&#x27;s registration regime for virtual-asset service providers has been substituted. The Comision Nacional de Valores (CNV) issued Resolucion General 1172/2026, replacing the Capitulo III/Titulo XIV regime for Proveedores de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) established under Ley 27.739. The substitution raises the minimum-activity threshold below which registration is refused, to approximately ARS 75,480,300 (around USD 49,167 as of mid-October 2026), and recasts the mandatory monthly activity report under Anexo I onto a gross-volume basis. Notably, the recast report must be filed even by registrants recording no operations in a given month, closing a prior inactivity gap. The new regime takes effect from 1 November 2026.

This is assessed at probable rather than confirmed confidence: the resolution number, threshold figure and effective date are drawn from secondary legal commentary, since the CNV&#x27;s own published text of the resolution was not independently retrieved. The underlying registration duty itself, however, is well established and confirmed: Ley 27.739 article 37 already requires any person or entity performing virtual-asset exchange, transfer, custody or administration activity in Argentina to register in a Registry centralised by the CNV as enforcement authority.

#### Other Developments

Argentina&#x27;s token-classification framework remains structurally residual. Ley 25.246 article 4 bis defines a virtual asset as a digitally tradeable or transferable representation of value usable for payment or investment, expressly excluding legal-tender and foreign fiat currency, but no further sub-classification by economic function exists in Argentine law. This is a structural absence rather than a research gap, and it means token-specific regulatory treatment in Argentina continues to be determined by the residual virtual-asset definition alone rather than by any functional taxonomy.

A risk-disclosure obligation for PSAV registrants is the only identified consumer-facing protection in the current framework. Under CNV Normas, Titulo XIV, Capitulo III, registrants must warn investors that virtual assets are highly volatile and high-risk and are not contemplated under the Capital Markets Law. No custody-segregation rule or market-abuse title specific to virtual assets has been identified alongside this.

The cross-border reach of the registration duty is confirmed and extends beyond domestic providers. Ley 27.739 article 39 requires both Argentine-constituted and foreign-origin persons or entities performing PSAV activity to register, extending the registration obligation extraterritorially to foreign providers serving Argentine residents. This remains unchanged and sits alongside, rather than as part of, the threshold and reporting changes introduced by Resolucion General 1172/2026.

#### Cross-Monitor Connections

The tightening of Argentina&#x27;s registration perimeter has a direct bearing on counterparty due-diligence processes that rely on the CNV registry as a screening signal: a narrower population of registrants below the new activity threshold, combined with a reporting obligation that now captures dormant entities, changes what a clean registry check can be taken to mean. No sanctions-nexus, payments-infrastructure or state-capture connection is evidenced in the material, and none is asserted.

#### Outlook

The threshold and reporting changes under Resolucion General 1172/2026 took effect on 1 November 2026. The near-term question is whether the recast monthly report meaningfully increases visibility into low-activity or dormant PSAV registrants, or whether the principal practical effect is confined to the raised threshold at the point of registration. Firming the current probable-confidence assessment of the specific figures and reporting format will depend on direct retrieval of the CNV&#x27;s own resolution text, which was not available. Separately, Argentina&#x27;s tax treatment of crypto-assets and its on-chain activity, stablecoin and token-classification frameworks remain without the research attention and should not be read as settled simply because they are unchanged in this update.

###### Standing brief · as of 25 August 2026

Written before the update above. Where they differ, the update is the more recent position.

#### Lead Signal

Argentina&#x27;s virtual-asset perimeter has moved from a registration formality into an operating conduct regime. The Comision Nacional de Valores&#x27; (CNV) Prestador de Servicios de Activos Virtales (PSAV) registry, created under Law No. 27,739 and elaborated through CNV General Resolution 994/2024, already requires any provider targeting the Argentine market to register regardless of where it is incorporated -- an effects-based test rather than a place-of-establishment test. What has changed materially this cycle is the conduct layer sitting on top of that registration duty. CNV General Resolution 1058/2025&#x27;s Chapter III requirements, which had been introduced but held in a transitional posture, became exigible for already-registered PSAVs on 31 December 2025, and reporting into this cycle describes the regime as fully operational since June 2026. In practice this means registered PSAVs are now restricted from using client virtual assets or client fiat funds for their own account, must run asset-segregation and custody procedures, and must maintain customer-disclosure and complaints-handling channels. This is a meaningfully tighter posture than a bare registry: it converts PSAV status from a market-access gate into a supervised custodial and conduct relationship, with the CNV as the standing supervisory authority. A narrow de-minimis carve-out survives alongside this tightening -- CNV General Resolution 994/2024 exempts aggregate PSAV activity that does not exceed 35,000 UVA per calendar month from the registration requirement, preserving some room for genuinely marginal or occasional activity to sit outside the perimeter. Taken together, the licensing and conduct regime is the clearest through-line of this cycle&#x27;s Argentine coverage: a jurisdiction that has gone, in the space of roughly eighteen months, from statutory registry to an exigible custody-and-disclosure conduct code, while still relying on secondary reporting of CNV resolution text rather than confirmed primary-source review of the resolutions themselves.

#### Other Developments

Token classification in Argentina remains structurally unfinished relative to comparator regimes. There is no comprehensive statutory taxonomy distinguishing security tokens, e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, and utility tokens along the lines of the EU&#x27;s MiCA framework -- this is a genuine regime gap rather than an oversight in coverage, and it leaves classification questions to be worked out claim-by-claim under the general PSAV perimeter and existing securities law. Alongside that gap, the CNV&#x27;s tokenization regulatory sandbox -- established under General Resolution 1069/2025 and subsequently extended by General Resolution 1137/2026 through 2027 -- creates a distinct, security-token-adjacent experimental track that permits tokenized securities to trade through registered PSAVs. This sandbox extension is itself a forward-looking marker: it signals that Argentine authorities intend to keep tokenized-securities experimentation alive for at least another year rather than resolve classification questions through a single comprehensive statute in the near term.

On the tax side, the picture has also tightened. Gains from selling crypto-assets continue to be taxed under Impuesto a las Ganancias (LIG Article 98) at differentiated rates -- 5% for Argentine-source income and 15% for foreign-source income -- and crypto-asset holdings continue to be treated as financial assets subject to Bienes Personales wealth tax once total patrimony exceeds the annual non-taxable minimum, per AFIP Dictamen 2/2022. The new development this cycle is an information-reporting regime: RG 5804/2025 requires exchanges and virtual-asset wallets to report user crypto-asset movements to the tax authority (now ARCA, the successor to AFIP) on a monthly basis, with that reporting obligation effective from May 2026. This is a visibility-oriented instrument rather than a rate change, but it materially increases the tax authority&#x27;s line of sight into on-platform crypto activity and should be read alongside the capital-gains and wealth-tax rules as a coordinated tightening of the fiscal perimeter around registered intermediaries.

Two modules remain genuinely quiet rather than merely under-covered. No CNV or BCRA instrument specifically addressing staking, DeFi lending, mining, or validator activity was identified this cycle; on-chain activity of this kind presumptively falls under the general PSAV perimeter, but that inference is unconfirmed by any dedicated instrument. Similarly, no dedicated Argentine stablecoin-specific statute addressing issuance, reserves, or redemption was identified; stablecoins fall under the general PSAV perimeter if they fall under any regime at all. Both are treated here as standing regime gaps rather than as findings requiring correction, consistent with how thin-evidence modules are expected to read in a jurisdiction that regulates virtual assets through a single general-purpose registry rather than instrument-specific statutes.

#### Cross-Monitor Connections

Two overlap vectors are carried forward from this cycle. First, the PSAV conduct regime&#x27;s custody, segregation, and systems requirements under RG 1058/2025 reach into territory that properly belongs to the financial-integrity monitor&#x27;s AML/CFT scope -- registered PSAVs&#x27; asset-segregation and internal-control obligations sit adjacent to, and in places overlap with, anti-money-laundering control expectations, even though this monitor does not perform first-party AML/CFT analysis for Argentina. Consistent with the single-owner subscription arrangement now in place, Argentina&#x27;s aml_cft_regime module content is sourced from the financial-integrity monitor rather than generated independently here, and no first-party crypto claims are attributed to that module this cycle. Second, the effects-based extraterritorial-capture test under CNV General Resolution 994/2024 -- which pulls a foreign virtual-asset provider into the PSAV registration perimeter where it uses a .ar domain, has local third-party fund-receipt arrangements, targets Argentine residents, advertises into Argentina, or derives significant volume from Argentina -- intersects with payment-account-adjacent virtual-asset services now falling within BCRA&#x27;s payments regulation under Communication A 8432/2026. That intersection is why cross-border virtual-asset transfer touching Argentina increasingly has to be read jointly against securities-style PSAV registration and central-bank payments oversight, rather than against either framework in isolation, and it is the basis for this cycle&#x27;s world-payments overlap flag.

#### Outlook

Argentina&#x27;s trajectory across every module carrying first-party analysis this cycle points the same direction: tightening. The PSAV conduct regime is now exigible and described as fully operational; a new monthly tax-reporting obligation comes into force through ARCA; and the tokenization sandbox has been extended rather than allowed to lapse. None of this resolves the standing structural gaps -- no comprehensive token taxonomy, no dedicated on-chain-activity instrument, no dedicated stablecoin statute -- and those gaps should be read as durable features of the current Argentine approach (a general-perimeter registry model) rather than as oversights likely to close on their own in the near term. The jurisdiction remains classified in_transition rather than fully regulated because the enacted conduct regime is materially reshaping practice while several adjacent domains remain unaddressed by any dedicated instrument. This record is held pending regulator confirmation: the underlying reporting for the core CNV resolutions (RG 994/2024, RG 1058/2025, RG 1137/2026) and the AFIP/ARCA RG 5804/2025 circular rests on secondary T4 corroboration rather than confirmed primary CNV or AFIP/ARCA text, and that gap should be closed before the licensing and tax findings here are treated as fully verified. The tokenization sandbox&#x27;s extension through 2027 is the clearest scheduled marker to watch next: it sets a horizon against which any future move toward a comprehensive statutory token taxonomy, or toward folding tokenized securities fully into ordinary securities law, is likely to be judged.

### Argentina: C1 Crypto LicensingAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

Argentina requires mandatory CNV registration of PSAV under Ley 27.739, operationalised by RG 994/2024, RG 1058/2025 (full regime in force from 31/12/2025), and RG 1118/2026. The CNV&#x27;s live public register showed zero registered legal or natural persons as of this cycle&#x27;s check, despite registration deadlines having passed — an unresolved effectiveness signal.

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina&#x27;s crypto licensing perimeter runs through the Comision Nacional de Valores&#x27; PSAV (Prestador de Servicios de Activos Virtuales) registry, established under Law No. 27,739 and elaborated through CNV General Resolution 994/2024. Registration is required of any virtual-asset service provider targeting the Argentine market regardless of country of incorporation -- an effects-based, rather than place-of-establishment, capture test. This structural feature means foreign-incorporated exchanges and platforms cannot rely on offshore status alone to remain outside CNV&#x27;s regulatory reach if they are, in substance, serving Argentine users.

The defining development of this cycle is the maturation of the conduct layer sitting atop that registration duty. CNV General Resolution 1058/2025&#x27;s Chapter III conduct requirements -- which had previously existed on the books without being fully exigible -- became exigible for already-registered PSAVs on 31 December 2025, and current reporting describes the regime as fully in force and operational as of June 2026. This is the difference between a registry (a market-access gate) and a supervised conduct regime (an ongoing custodial and disclosure relationship), and it represents Argentina&#x27;s clearest tightening signal this cycle. The CNV sits as the standing supervisory authority for this framework.

A de-minimis carve-out tempers the perimeter&#x27;s reach at its margins: CNV General Resolution 994/2024 exempts aggregate PSAV activity not exceeding 35,000 UVA per calendar month from the registration requirement, giving genuinely marginal or occasional activity room to sit outside the regime without formal registration. This threshold-based exemption is a deliberate design choice rather than a gap, and it should be read as calibrating the perimeter&#x27;s edge rather than weakening its substantive core.

Taken together, the licensing framework now combines three elements operating simultaneously: an effects-based extraterritorial registration duty, a de-minimis exemption preserving proportionality at the margin, and an exigible conduct code governing custody, segregation, and disclosure once a provider is registered. The reliance on secondary (T4) sourcing for the underlying CNV resolution text -- rather than confirmed review of CNV&#x27;s own published resolutions -- is the principal limitation on how firmly the exigibility and full-operation claims here can currently be held.

#### Outlook

The near-term trajectory for crypto licensing in Argentina is tightening, not stabilising. With the conduct regime now exigible, the next material development to watch is less likely to be a new registration requirement and more likely to be enforcement activity, supervisory guidance clarifying the Chapter III conduct obligations in practice, or amendments narrowing or widening the de-minimis threshold. Direct confirmation of CNV RG 994/2024, RG 1058/2025 and RG 1137/2026 against CNV&#x27;s own published resolution text remains an open verification item and should be prioritised before treating the &#x27;fully operational since June 2026&#x27; characterisation as definitively settled.

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina&#x27;s registration regime for virtual-asset service providers has been substituted. The CNV issued Resolucion General 1172/2026, replacing the Capitulo III/Titulo XIV regime for PSAV established under Ley 27.739 articles 37 to 39. The substitution raises the minimum-activity threshold below which registration is refused, to approximately ARS 75,480,300 as of mid-October 2026, and recasts the mandatory monthly activity report under Anexo I onto a gross-volume basis that now applies even where a registrant records no operations in the relevant month. The new regime takes effect from 1 November 2026.

This finding is assessed at probable confidence. The resolution number, the specific threshold figure and the effective date are drawn from secondary legal commentary rather than the CNV&#x27;s own published text, which was not independently retrieved. The underlying registration duty is, by contrast, confirmed at the highest tier available: Ley 27.739 article 37 already requires any person or entity performing virtual-asset exchange, transfer, custody or administration activity in Argentina to register in a Registry centralised by the CNV as enforcement authority, and article 39 extends that duty extraterritorially to foreign providers serving Argentine residents.

The direction of the change is a tightening rather than a loosening of the registration perimeter. Raising the activity threshold and closing the inactivity gap in monthly reporting both narrow the room within which a virtual-asset business can operate in Argentina without triggering registration, or can remain registered without filing. That is a materially different signal from the creation of a wholly new licensing category: it indicates active CNV maintenance of an existing registry&#x27;s completeness and reporting integrity, which in turn affects how much weight can be placed on a clean registry status when assessing a counterparty operating in or through Argentina.

#### Outlook

The threshold and reporting changes under Resolucion General 1172/2026 took effect on 1 November 2026. Confirmation of the CNV&#x27;s own primary text, including the full Anexo I reporting format and the precise computation basis for the ARS threshold, would firm up the current probable-confidence assessment of the specific figures reported through secondary commentary. Until that primary text is retrieved, the resolution number, threshold amount and effective date should be treated as probable rather than confirmed.

6 earlier distinct update(s) Periodic update · new data 2026-11-03

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina regulates virtual-asset service provision through a registration perimeter rather than a prudential licensing regime. Under Ley 27.739, the National Securities Commission (CNV) centralizes, as enforcement authority, a registry covering any person or entity that performs virtual-asset exchange, transfer, custody or administration activity in the country. This is a confirmed structural feature of the regime: registration, not a capital-backed licence, is the operative control.

That registration perimeter has just been substituted. CNV General Resolution 1172/2026 replaces the existing Capitulo III/Titulo XIV framework for providers of virtual-asset services (PSAV), raising the minimum-activity threshold that triggers mandatory registration and recasting the monthly activity report registrants must file onto a gross-volume basis, with a trailing twelve-month client count. The change takes effect from 1 November 2026. Its most consequential design feature is that the monthly reporting obligation persists even where a registrant has no operations in a given period, removing dormancy as a route out of ongoing disclosure.

The reported threshold figure, ARS 75,480,300, and the specific recast report format come from secondary legal commentary rather than the CNV&#x27;s own resolution text, which was not directly retrieved; this portion of the finding is accordingly probable. The underlying registration and enforcement-authority architecture, by contrast, is confirmed from a primary official gazette source. Taken together, the picture is a jurisdiction tightening the gate into its existing registry rather than building a new licensing tier, consistent with a broader pattern of registration-based regimes layering continuous-disclosure obligations onto what had been a largely static sign-up requirement.

#### Outlook

With the effective date set for 1 November 2026, the near-term task is confirming the CNV&#x27;s own resolution text to settle the precise threshold figure and the full Anexo I report content, neither of which has yet been independently verified against a primary CNV source. Until that confirmation, the threshold and reporting-format details should be read as probable, while the registration perimeter and the CNV&#x27;s role as centralizing enforcement authority remain settled features of the regime that this resolution modifies rather than replaces.

Periodic update · new data 2026-10-25

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina&#x27;s virtual-asset licensing regime remains registration-based rather than a full licensing or prudential model, administered by the Comisión Nacional de Valores under the framework of Law No. 27,739 amending Law No. 25,246, together with CNV General Resolutions 1058/2025 and, as of this period, 1172/2026. The baseline obligation requires a proveedor de servicios de activos virtuales to register with the CNV once its aggregate monthly activity exceeds UVA 35,000, a threshold applying to Argentine-incorporated legal entities, resident individuals falling within Categories 1 and 2, and foreign providers operating within the country.

General Resolution 1172/2026 tightens this registration perimeter in two specific respects. First, it requires locally constituted PSAV registrants to state their PSAV activity explicitly, in non-generic language, within their corporate-purpose clause, closing a gap in which a generically worded corporate purpose might previously have obscured whether an entity was properly within scope. Second, it confirms that the registration duty applies even to an entity recording no PSAV transactions in a given period, removing any suggestion that dormancy could place a registrant outside its ongoing registration obligations. Secondary legal commentary states the tightened requirements take effect from 1 November 2026, though that date has not been independently verified against the resolution&#x27;s own commencement provision, and should be treated as probable pending confirmation.

As of 13 October 2026, the CNV&#x27;s PSAV registry recorded 81 registered entities, all legal entities, with no individual registrants recorded, according to secondary commentary rather than direct verification against the registry itself. This figure gives a sense of the current scale of Argentina&#x27;s formally registered virtual-asset sector under the registration-only model, though it does not capture unregistered activity that may fall below the UVA 35,000 monthly threshold or outside the registration perimeter altogether.

No change to the underlying registration-threshold architecture itself was identified this period: Argentina has not moved toward a capital-and-governance licensing model, and the tightening introduced by GR 1172/2026 operates within the existing registration-based structure rather than replacing it.

#### Outlook

Confirmation of the 1 November 2026 effective date against GR 1172/2026&#x27;s own commencement article is the immediate marker to watch. Beyond that, whether the CNV&#x27;s registry count grows materially from the 81-entity figure recorded in mid-October 2026, particularly among foreign providers newly captured by the tightened deeming test, will indicate how significant the practical registration impact of this tightening proves to be.

Periodic update · new data 2026-10-18

#### Crypto Licensing

The Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) remains the sole channel through which virtual-asset service providers may lawfully register and operate in Argentina, and this cycle brings a wholesale replacement of that channel&#x27;s rulebook. RG 1172/2026 substitutes Chapter III, Title XIV of the CNV Rules in full, effective 16 October 2026, superseding the regime previously established under RG 1058/2025. Registration with the CNV&#x27;s PSAV Registry continues to be required before operating, grounded in the PSAV definition at article 4 bis of Ley 25.246, as amended by Ley 27.739. The new rulebook carries forward a minimum-activity threshold — ARS 75,480,300, approximately USD 49,167 as of 15 October 2026 — below which the CNV may refuse registration, continuing a feature of the prior RG 1058/2025 regime, though the precise article pinpoint for this threshold within the new text has not been confirmed from primary sources this cycle.

A new standardised monthly reporting obligation, Formulario PSAV_014, becomes mandatory from 1 November 2026 for all registered PSAVs, including those with zero activity in a given month, replacing prior ad hoc reporting practice with a single template covering active clients, gross volume, top-10 traded assets, and custody broken down by asset and network. This represents a material tightening of ongoing compliance obligations rather than a loosening of the registration perimeter, notwithstanding broader pro-crypto political rhetoric in Argentina. The CNV&#x27;s own gazette text of RG 1172/2026 was not directly retrieved this cycle, leaving the exact statutory wording for several of these provisions, including the mixer-service prohibition discussed under Consumer Protection, unconfirmed at the primary-source level.

#### Outlook

The operative near-term date is 1 November 2026, when the Formulario PSAV_014 reporting requirement takes effect for all registered PSAVs. Whether the CNV&#x27;s full-text gazette publication surfaces to confirm the precise threshold and conduct-standard article numbers remains an open item for the next research cycle.

Periodic update · new data 2026-10-04

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina does not operate a bespoke, single-purpose statutory authorisation formally labelled a crypto license. Instead, Ley 27.739, through its Article 37, requires any person or entity performing one of five regulated virtual-asset activities to register as a Proveedor de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) with the Comision Nacional de Valores, a duty in force since 15 March 2024 and implemented in detail by CNV RG 1058/2025. This cycle brings two further resolutions that materially change the texture of that registration duty without altering its statutory base. CNV RG 1150/2026 confirms that Article 37 grants the CNV broad powers of supervision, regulation, inspection, oversight and sanction over PSAVs; the specific fine amounts or turnover-percentage maxima that would attach to those sanction powers were not located in sources reached this cycle, so the practical severity of non-compliance cannot yet be quantified. CNV RG 1139/2026 goes further on the front end of the process, subjecting PSAV registration to a substantive assessment of the applicant&#x27;s integrity and solvency. Notably, RG 1139/2026 currently carries a transitional exception excluding the idoneity requirement under Section 11(1) of the new regime; the source reviewed this cycle did not establish when or whether that exception will lapse, leaving open whether the full integrity test will eventually apply to all applicants or only to a later cohort.

Read together, these two resolutions indicate that the CNV is moving its PSAV gate from a chiefly procedural filing toward a more substantive gatekeeping function, backed by confirmed sanction authority. The underlying activity-based definition of what counts as a regulated virtual-asset activity, and the identity of the supervisory authority itself, have not changed: the CNV remains the sole registering and supervising body, and Ley 27.739 remains the enabling statute.

#### Outlook

Two gaps bound on this cycle&#x27;s findings and should resolve the practical stakes of the tightening described above. First, whether the CNV publishes a specific administrative-fine schedule under its RG 1150/2026 powers, which would convert a confirmed grant of sanction authority into a quantifiable compliance risk for registered PSAVs. Second, whether and when the transitional idoneity exception in RG 1139/2026 lapses, which would determine whether the substantive integrity assessment eventually applies uniformly across the PSAV population or remains confined to a subset of applicants. Both are directly relevant to any entity currently registered, or contemplating registration, as a PSAV in Argentina.

Periodic update · new data 2026-09-28

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina requires any virtual-asset service provider (PSAV) targeting Argentine residents, or receiving funds from Argentina via any technology, to register in the CNV&#x27;s PSAV Registry; operating without registration is not lawful. This registration mandate, grounded in Ley 27.739 and given detailed operational content by CNV Resolucion General 1058/2025, is the core of Argentina&#x27;s crypto-licensing perimeter and is a Confirmed, Tier-1-sourced obligation drawn directly from the consolidated InfoLEG regulatory text.

The most significant open question this cycle concerns the registry&#x27;s own reported contents rather than the underlying obligation. The CNV&#x27;s public PSAV Registry page showed a total of zero registered legal persons and zero registered natural persons at the point this cycle&#x27;s research accessed it, a figure inconsistent with independent reporting suggesting an active registrant population under the mandatory regime. Three explanations are consistent with the available evidence and none can be ruled out: a live-data display artefact affecting the public page at the moment of access, a substantive purge of the register&#x27;s contents, or a backlog in publication. This is recorded at Uncertain confidence and flagged for further primary-source research; it should not be read as evidence that the registration requirement itself has lapsed or been suspended.

Separately, BCRA Comunicacion &#x27;A&#x27; 7506 (applicable to financial institutions) and Comunicacion &#x27;A&#x27; 7759 (applicable to PSPCPs) together prohibit those regulated entities from carrying out or facilitating crypto-asset operations on behalf of clients, a prohibition dating to May 2022. Press reporting, sourced only to unnamed contacts, suggests BCRA is drafting rules to reverse this prohibition for banks specifically, but this reversal is unconfirmed at the primary-source level and is carried at Probable confidence for the existence of the underlying prohibition itself, with the reported reversal treated as a separate, lower-confidence regulatory-horizon item.

#### Outlook

The zero-registrant anomaly in the CNV&#x27;s public PSAV Registry is the priority item for resolution: confirming whether this reflects a data artefact or a substantive development is necessary before the crypto_licensing module&#x27;s traffic-light assessment can be treated as fully settled. The reported BCRA bank-crypto prohibition reversal remains a regulatory-horizon item pending primary confirmation, expected as early as Q2 2026 per press reporting, though that timeline itself is unconfirmed.

#### Crypto Licensing

Argentina&#x27;s crypto licensing landscape is now defined by two parallel and, in one respect, conflicting regimes. On the permissive side, the CNV&#x27;s Registro de Proveedores de Servicios de Activos Virtuales (PSAV) is fully in force: any person or entity providing virtual-asset services in or into Argentina must register in this CNV registry, per the framework created under Ley 27.739 article 37 and detailed by CNV RG 994/2024 and RG 1058/2025. The registration regime became fully operative on 31 December 2025, with the exclusive TAD (Trámites a Distancia) electronic filing channel having been mandatory since 26 May 2025. This registration track is confirmed at Confirmed confidence, drawing on a T1 primary CNV source, and represents the culmination of a statutory process that began with Ley 27.739&#x27;s designation of the CNV as centralising authority for VASP oversight.

On the restrictive side, a separate and standing prohibition applies specifically to the banking channel: BCRA Comunicación A 7506, in force since May 2022, bars BCRA-regulated financial entities from participating, directly or indirectly, in offering crypto-assets to their clients. This prohibition is likewise Confirmed at T1 sourcing and remains the operative rule for banks even as the non-bank VASP registration track has become fully enforceable. Reports have circulated of a prospective BCRA framework that would permit licensed banks to offer crypto custody, trading and payment integration to retail clients, reversing the Com. A 7506 prohibition, with an expected timeframe around 2027 Q1. However, no primary BCRA communication confirming or enacting this reported change was located this cycle; the gap register explicitly notes that repeated press reporting since late 2025 of an imminent lifting has not been matched by any actual BCRA communication as of this cycle, so this remains an unenacted proposal rather than a current rule.

The result is a bifurcated licensing landscape: a settled, in-force, enforceable non-bank VASP registration track running through the CNV, and a settled, in-force, but potentially transitional prohibition on bank participation running through the BCRA. The CNV registration track is trending toward tightening in practical effect, evidenced by the ARGt enforcement action discussed in the token_classification sub-brief, which demonstrates the CNV is prepared to act against non-compliant products rather than treating registration as a nominal formality.

#### Outlook

The central open question for crypto licensing in Argentina is whether BCRA will formalise the reported plan to lift the Com. A 7506 bank-crypto prohibition. If enacted around the projected 2027 Q1 window, this would open a second, bank-mediated licensing channel alongside the CNV&#x27;s non-bank VASP track, materially expanding the range of licensed entry points into the Argentine crypto market. Absent that development, the bank prohibition remains a hard perimeter, and market entry for crypto-asset activity continues to run exclusively through CNV VASP registration.

### Argentina: C2 Token ClassificationAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

Argentina has no MiCA-style statutory taxonomy distinguishing e-money tokens, asset-referenced tokens, or utility tokens. Crypto assets are generically termed &#x27;activos virtuales&#x27; for AML/registration purposes. The CNV may apply a facts-and-circumstances &#x27;valor negociable&#x27; (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.

Periodic update · new data 2026-09-21

#### Token Classification

Argentina has no MiCA-style categorical token taxonomy; classification of a given crypto-asset is instead determined case-by-case, principally through application of general securities law by the CNV. This cycle&#x27;s clearest illustration of that approach is the CNV&#x27;s classification of ARGt, a yield-bearing peso-pegged stablecoin issued by Twin Finance, as an unregistered security (valor negociable) offered irregularly to the public under Ley 26.831. The CNV ordered the immediate cessation of ARGt&#x27;s listing, offering and intermediation. This is reported as the first stablecoin-specific securities enforcement action taken in Argentina, and it is sourced at Confirmed confidence from a T1 primary CNV notice.

More broadly, stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are treated as virtual assets subject to the general VASP registration regime rather than as e-money or under a dedicated stablecoin category; this general classification is Probable-confidence, sourced from a T4 secondary compilation rather than a primary CNV or legislative instrument, reflecting the absence of a codified stablecoin-specific taxonomy. The ARGt action illustrates the practical consequence of this gap: without a dedicated category, a token that behaves like a yield-bearing instrument is liable to be swept into securities regulation rather than treated as a payment instrument or a straightforward virtual asset, exposing issuers of similar products to comparable enforcement risk.

The classification approach therefore functions as enforcement-driven taxonomy: the underlying legal basis is Ley 26.831 (valores negociables) layered against Ley 27.739&#x27;s VASP framework, with the CNV as the supervisory authority resolving classification questions through case-specific action rather than ex ante rulemaking. This produces less predictability for issuers than a dedicated categorical regime would, since a token&#x27;s ultimate classification may not be settled until the CNV acts.

#### Outlook

Watch for whether the CNV follows the ARGt action with further enforcement against other yield-bearing or algorithmically-pegged tokens operating without registration, which would confirm that securities-law classification is being applied as a general enforcement tool rather than a one-off action. Absent a dedicated legislative taxonomy, this claim-by-claim classification approach is likely to remain the operative mechanism for the near term, with the CNV&#x27;s practical stance solidifying prior to any statutory codification.

### Argentina: C4 Stablecoin RegimeRedEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

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 &#x27;activos virtuales,&#x27; subject only to the general PSAV/AML registry when intermediated by a registered provider — there is no systemic-designation regime for large stablecoin issuers.

Periodic update · new data 2026-09-28

#### Stablecoin Regime

Stablecoins in Argentina occupy a legally intermediate position: they are not recognised as legal tender, but private parties may hold and use them by mutual agreement, a status that reflects the country&#x27;s broader default of not directly restricting private crypto-asset use while withholding formal monetary status from any crypto-asset. Where a stablecoin is issued or serviced by an entity meeting the PSAV definition under Argentina&#x27;s virtual-asset framework, however, that activity is brought within the CNV&#x27;s PSAV registration perimeter, the same registration mandate described in the crypto_licensing module above. This means stablecoin issuance and servicing is not separately regulated as a distinct category so much as captured by the general PSAV framework whenever the issuer or servicer meets the PSAV entity definition.

A separate, more specific development concerns a reported CNV enforcement action against a peso-pegged stablecoin product offering yields of up to 32 percent APR. The report describes this as a cease-and-desist order classifying the offering as an unregistered security, which would suggest a securities-law theory rather than a PSAV-registration theory as the basis for any such action. This item, however, rests on a single lower-tier secondary source and could not be independently corroborated against a primary CNV notice or public enforcement record this cycle. It is carried at Uncertain confidence and should not be treated as a confirmed enforcement event pending further primary-source verification.

Read together, the stablecoin picture in Argentina is one of general permissiveness for private use, with regulatory attention concentrated at the point where a stablecoin arrangement takes on either PSAV-type service characteristics or, per the unconfirmed report, characteristics resembling an unregistered yield-bearing security offering.

#### Outlook

The priority item to watch is whether the reported peso-pegged stablecoin cease-and-desist action can be corroborated against a primary CNV enforcement notice; if confirmed, this would represent the first identified instance of Argentina&#x27;s securities regulator applying an unregistered-security theory specifically to a yield-bearing stablecoin product, a meaningful precedent for how CNV approaches novel stablecoin structures going forward.

### Argentina: C5 Consumer ProtectionAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

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&#x27;s general consumer-protection statute (Ley 24.240) also applies to crypto-asset consumers on a non-crypto-specific basis.

#### Consumer Protection

Consumer protection for Argentine virtual-asset users is now anchored in CNV General Resolution 1058/2025&#x27;s Chapter III conduct regime, which became exigible for registered PSAVs on 31 December 2025. Two obligations stand out as material this cycle. First, registered PSAVs are restricted from using client virtual assets or client fiat funds for the provider&#x27;s own account, and must maintain asset-segregation and custody procedures -- a direct response to the co-mingling and rehypothecation risks that have driven consumer harm in other jurisdictions&#x27; crypto-platform failures. Second, registered PSAVs must maintain customer-disclosure and complaints channels under the same conduct regime, giving users a formal, supervised avenue for grievance handling rather than relying solely on a provider&#x27;s internal, unsupervised processes.

Together these two obligations convert PSAV registration from a market-access formality into an ongoing custodial and service-standard relationship supervised by the CNV. This is a materially tighter posture than existed before Chapter III became exigible, and it is the clearest consumer-facing manifestation of Argentina&#x27;s broader licensing tightening this cycle.

What is not yet independently confirmed is the granular content of the disclosure and complaints-handling standard -- what must be disclosed, on what timeline complaints must be resolved, and what recourse exists if a PSAV fails to comply. The claims underlying this module rest on secondary reporting of RG 1058/2025&#x27;s Chapter III rather than direct review of the CNV&#x27;s own resolution text.

#### Outlook

The consumer protection posture should be expected to firm up further as the conduct regime beds in operationally through the remainder of 2026. Watch for CNV enforcement actions or guidance addressing specific custody or segregation failures, which would be the clearest signal of how seriously the Chapter III conduct rules are being supervised in practice rather than merely codified. Direct confirmation of the CNV&#x27;s own resolution text remains the priority verification gap for this module.

#### Consumer Protection

Among the conduct standards introduced by RG 1172/2026, registered PSAVs are now prohibited from offering cryptocurrency mixer services. This sits within the CNV&#x27;s broader substitution of the PSAV rulebook effective 16 October 2026, and functions as a conduct-level restriction rather than a market-structure change. Beyond this prohibition, Argentina continues to lack any custody-segregation regime, prudential-capital requirement, or crypto-specific market-abuse rule equivalent to the protections found under MiCA Title VI or articles 67 and 75 of that regulation. No instrument addressing segregation of client assets from a provider&#x27;s own assets, nor any provider-liability cap for custodial losses, was located this cycle, leaving client-asset protection for PSAV customers dependent on general contractual and civil-law principles rather than a crypto-specific statutory safeguard.

This gap exists against the backdrop of a registration perimeter, administered by the CNV, that covers conduct standards and reporting but does not yet extend to prudential protections for client funds. The mixer-service ban is a measurable, dated addition to that conduct layer; the absence of a custody or market-abuse regime is a standing condition rather than a change introduced this cycle.

#### Outlook

Whether the CNV extends its RG 1172/2026 framework to address custody segregation or prudential capital in a future rulemaking remains unconfirmed. The precise textual basis for the mixer-service prohibition within RG 1172/2026 itself was not retrieved from the CNV&#x27;s own primary publication this cycle and would clarify its scope and enforcement mechanism.

1 earlier distinct update(s) Periodic update · new data 2026-09-28

#### Consumer Protection

Argentina&#x27;s PSAV framework, as set out in CNV Resolucion General 1058/2025, imposes firm, Confirmed, Tier-1-sourced consumer-protection obligations centred on custody and asset segregation. PSAVs may deposit client funds only in one of three permitted channels: BCRA-authorised local financial-entity accounts, foreign institutions meeting Basel-III-equivalent security standards, or BCRA-registered payment-service providers. This structure is designed to ensure client funds are held in institutions meeting a defined prudential standard, whether domestic or foreign, rather than being held at the PSAV&#x27;s own discretion in an unregulated venue.

The same instrument expressly prohibits PSAVs from using client virtual assets or client fiat currency for their own account, a direct self-dealing prohibition that addresses one of the most consequential failure modes seen in unregulated or lightly regulated crypto-asset venues internationally, namely the commingling of client assets with a platform&#x27;s own operating capital or proprietary trading activity. This custody-segregation and self-dealing prohibition is stated directly and unambiguously in the retrieved primary regulatory text, without qualification.

Taken together, these provisions place Argentina&#x27;s PSAV consumer-protection framework on a comparatively solid footing relative to jurisdictions that have not codified custody-segregation and self-dealing prohibitions specifically for virtual-asset service providers. The requirement that foreign custodial arrangements meet Basel-III-equivalent standards is a notably specific benchmark, tying an otherwise crypto-native regulatory framework to an established international prudential standard.

#### Outlook

No enforcement action testing these custody-segregation or self-dealing provisions was identified this cycle. Watch for any future CNV enforcement or supervisory finding that would test whether PSAVs are complying with the three-channel custody requirement in practice, which would be the first indication of how rigorously this Confirmed obligation is being supervised on the ground.

### Argentina: C7 Cross-Border TransferAmberEnacted in forceModule confidence: Probable&#9662;

Argentina imposes broad currency-exchange controls (&#x27;cepo cambiario&#x27;) 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).

Periodic update · new data 2026-09-28

#### Cross-Border Transfer

Argentina&#x27;s PSAV framework embeds a direct cross-border counterparty-integrity rule within CNV Resolucion General 1058/2025. Where a PSAV enters into an agreement with a foreign entity to carry out PSAV-type activities on its behalf, that foreign entity must be regulated by control bodies of countries that do not appear on the applicable FATF high-risk or increased-monitoring lists. This is a Confirmed, Tier-1-sourced rule that creates a self-executing link between a foreign jurisdiction&#x27;s FATF listing status and the legal permissibility of an Argentine PSAV&#x27;s cross-border service arrangements: a change in a counterparty jurisdiction&#x27;s FATF status could, in principle, immediately affect the validity of an existing cross-border arrangement without any separate Argentine regulatory action being required.

Beyond this counterparty-integrity rule, no crypto-specific cross-border transaction reporting threshold, distinct from the general UIF/PSAV anti-money-laundering reporting regime that applies across the PSAV framework generally, was identified this cycle. This is recorded as an earned null: the absence reflects a genuine gap in the regulatory architecture rather than a research shortfall, since the consolidated regulatory text that was directly reviewed does not carve out a separate crypto-specific cross-border reporting threshold.

#### Outlook

Watch for whether the FATF-list-linked counterparty rule is tested in practice, for instance if a jurisdiction currently used as a PSAV cross-border counterparty location were to be added to a FATF high-risk or increased-monitoring list, which would create an immediate compliance question for any Argentine PSAV relying on that counterparty relationship.
