CNV Updates Regulations for Cryptocurrency Companies in Argentina

The National Securities Commission (CNV) has updated the regulations governing cryptocurrency companies in Argentina through General Resolution 1172/2026. This resolution establishes procedures for platforms to expand activities, modify their registration, or cease operations. Companies requesting the cancellation of their registration must notify their clients 30 days in advance and facilitate the withdrawal of balances. It also details the steps that virtual asset service providers (PSAV) must follow when incorporating new activities, which require informing the CNV and submitting the corresponding documentation. Starting November 1, 2026, a monthly reporting scheme will be implemented that will require detailing the number of clients, the volume of operations in dollars, the ten most traded virtual assets, and the balances under custody, with a deadline of 15 days for submission. Platforms must remain registered, maintain a minimum capital, and separate their clients' assets. Services of cryptocurrency mixers are prohibited, and specific definitions of Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins USDT and USDC are included. The update aims to simplify the regulatory framework established in March 2025 and does not introduce significant changes to the daily operations of users.
