Argentina Institutes Controversial Crypto Platform Registry to Appease Global Financial Regulations

Argentina unveiled a mandatory registry for crypto platforms to comply with financial regulations.

The registry requires crypto providers to register with the national securities regulator to operate in Argentina.

The libertarian president, Javier Milei, did not initiate the registry, though some expected more crypto-friendly policies.

Local experts argue the registry overreaches in regulating crypto as a financial asset rather than currency.

While not directly impacting users yet, the registry intends to satisfy international demands, not benefit Argentinians.
