Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has officially secured registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (PSAV) in Argentina under the National Securities Commission (CNV) framework. The milestone, announced on June 12, 2026, marks a significant step in Bitget’s ongoing expansion across Latin America, where regulatory compliance has become critical for digital asset platforms.
Argentina now joins a growing list of jurisdictions where Bitget maintains local registrations and compliance frameworks. The PSAV registration obligates Bitget to adhere to Argentina’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) requirements, positioning the exchange as a regulated entity before the country’s financial authorities. This move aligns with Argentina’s evolving oversight of the cryptocurrency sector, which has rapidly gained traction among the population.
Industry data indicates that nearly 20% of Argentina’s population now uses digital assets, and over 15,000 businesses reportedly accept cryptocurrency payments. The country consistently ranks among Latin America’s most active crypto markets in terms of user participation and trading volume, making it a strategic destination for global exchanges.
“Regulatory frameworks for digital assets continue developing across Latin America, making compliance and registration increasingly important for platforms operating in the region,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Argentina represents an important market within Latin America’s broader digital asset landscape, and Bitget remains focused on supporting sustainable growth by aligning with local regulatory requirements.”
The Argentine registration follows recent regulatory progress in Mexico and reflects Bitget’s broader strategy of expanding in markets where adoption and regulatory development progress simultaneously. By cementing its legal standing in Argentina, Bitget strengthens its ability to serve local users and lays a foundation for further regional growth.
