According to News.Bitcoin, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) has now recognized cryptocurrencies as assets that can be counted towards an individual's net worth, thus qualifying individuals as investors. It is reported that the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) issued General Resolution No. 1125/2026, which stipulates that virtual assets will be considered part of an individual's net worth for determining qualified investor status in the country. The resolution defines virtual assets as "any digital representation of value that can be traded and/or transferred digitally and is 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 clients, as the central bank issued a resolution in 2022 aimed at "mitigating the risks that trading such assets may pose to financial service users and the entire financial system." However, with President Milei's government taking an open stance towards cryptocurrencies, there are reports that related restrictions will be lifted in the short term, and some Argentine banks have already begun testing blockchain-based internal settlement systems.
