As a VASP and card issuer, Bybit can now provide various crypto-related services to users in Argentina. This development comes as Argentina faces economic difficulties and recently approved a company to use cryptocurrency as registered capital.

This approval by the Argentine General Inspectorate of Justice shows Argentina's growing acceptance of digital assets.

“This achievement marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide accessible and secure digital asset services to users worldwide and our commitment against financial crime. Bybit is committed to supporting Argentina's economic growth and empowering its citizens through the payment capabilities and potential of blockchain technology,” said Ben Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit.

Meanwhile, the Argentine government has established a registry for Virtual Asset Service Providers, requiring the registration of cryptocurrency exchanges and related companies. This move follows recent developments under President Javier Milei, who initially supported cryptocurrencies but is now facing criticism.

The new regulations, which include changes to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, were enacted on March 14 after approval by the Argentine Senate, as reported by Finance Magnates.
