Argentina’s CNV detailed its progress on capital market rules, tokenization frameworks, and virtual asset provider oversight.
A delegation of U.S. congress members visited Argentina this week to discuss cryptocurrency regulation. The group included French Hill, Chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, and legislators Don Davis, Warren Davidson, Janelle Bynum, Troy Downing, and Tim Moore. Argentine regulatory officials and industry representatives participated in the meetings.
‘We are pleased to have these meetings of exchange and mutual enrichment with officials from countries like the US who stand for the ideas of freedom,’ the CNV president said.
The National Securities Commission (CNV) confirmed its president, Roberto E. Silva, met the delegation. Discussions covered Argentina’s progress in capital market rules, virtual asset service provider oversight, and tokenization frameworks. Silva described the exchange as mutually beneficial for nations supporting economic freedom principles.
Argentina’s Fintech Chamber separately hosted the U.S. lawmakers. Talks addressed regulatory challenges and opportunities for cryptocurrency sector growth. Chamber representatives noted Argentina’s market potential and emphasized commitment to international cooperation.
Manuel Beaudroit, CEO of Argentine exchange Belo, identified the visitors as sponsors of two U.S. bills: the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. These aim to establish clearer digital asset regulations domestically. Beaudroit publicly urged Argentine leaders to advance tax exemptions for cryptocurrency activities.
The meetings occurred through U.S. Embassy coordination. Participants did not disclose specific policy agreements. Argentine industry figures view tax adjustments as essential groundwork for sector development.
The GENIUS Act focuses on stablecoin oversight, while the CLARITY Act addresses securities classification. Both bills remain under congressional review in Washington. Argentine regulators continue developing local virtual asset service provider guidelines.
Market observers note ongoing dialogue between the countries. Future collaboration could align aspects of their regulatory approaches. The CNV plans additional meetings with international counterparts this quarter.
