Argentina Makes Registration of Crypto Exchanges Mandatory

The government in Argentina has mandated the registration of cryptocurrency exchanges and other companies in the sector by creating a registry of virtual asset service providers (VASP). The regulations came when the countrys President, Javier Milei, was seen as a proponent of cryptocurrencies but is now facing criticism.

New Registration Rules for Crypto Exchanges

Argentina moved forward with the new cryptocurrency regulations on March 14 as the countrys senate approved modifying laws around anti-money laundering (AML) and combatting the financing of terrorism (CFT).

Javier Milei makes his first major mistake, tweeted Max Kieser, a Bitcoin proponent and an advisor to El Salvadors President. Nayib Bukele. El Salvador became the first nation to adopt Bitcoin and officially give it legal tender status.

He never took the time to understand #Bitcoin; now hell suffer the consequences, Kieser continued, criticizing the decision of Argentinas President who came to power after winning the economically stressful countrys elections in November 2023.

A Bitcoin-Bull President

After winning the election, President Milei-led government officially legalized the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for contract settlements and payments. However, the decree did not specifically mention cryptocurrencies; instead, it included provisions that grant individuals and businesses the freedom to choose their preferred mode of payment, even if it's not recognized as legal tender in Argentina.

The South American countrys securities regulator, Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV), clarified last week that the new rules would align Argentina with the Financial Action Task Forces recommendations around AML and CFT requirements. CNVs President, Roberto Silva, clarified that unregistered VASPs will not be able to operate in the country.

Argentina is struggling with hyperinflation and a weakened economy. According to the official figures, the countrys annual inflation soared 211.4 percent in 2023, the highest rate in 32 years from 95 percent a year before. The countrys currency was devalued by 50 percent.
