PANews reported on April 12th, citing News.Bitcoin, that the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (CNV) has now recognized cryptocurrencies as assets, which can be included in an individual's net worth, thus qualifying them as investors. The CNV issued General Decision No. 1125/2026, stipulating that virtual assets will be considered part of an individual's net worth and used to determine their eligibility as a qualified investor in the country. The decision defines virtual assets as "any digital representation of value that can be traded and/or transferred digitally and used for payment or investment," meaning that cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and even stablecoins can be used as such assets.

Despite Argentina's progress in this area, financial institutions are still unable to offer cryptocurrency services to their clients because the central bank issued a resolution in 2022 aimed at "mitigating the risks that such asset transactions may pose to users of financial services and the entire financial system." However, with President Millais's government taking an open stance towards cryptocurrencies, reports suggest that the restrictions will be lifted in the near future, and some Argentine banks have begun testing blockchain-based internal settlement systems.
