Argentina’s Chamber of Commerce Fintech said that more than 2.5 million Argentina uses a platform for paying, storing and investing on a regulated cryptocurrency platform, warning that these companies face unequal financial burdens on other signatures despite complying with National Securities Commission (CNV) and Financial Information Unit (FIU) regulations.
In particular, they exempt debit and tax (IDC) from certain parties in the financial system, such as ALYCS Bank (Closing and Compensation Agents) and other regulated actors, but excludes suppliers of Virtual Asset Services (PSAV) that operate to the limit. Generates tax penalties for these platforms despite already meeting all requirements established by the law;In other words, they value the regulations introduced in 2024 for exchanges and cryptocurrency wallets, but they claim that the financial treatment code is not yet accompanied. “
The camera warns what this situation means A greater financial burden for crypto-active companies Reduce incentives to operate within the formal market. Therefore, we propose that these companies be included in the debit tax (IDC) exemption regime, in addition to moving them into a more modern financial framework and adapting to digital currencies. From the entity, they argue that “keeping this discrimination solely to operate on virtual assets is contrary to the country model intended to be constructed” in the context of trying to promote the free capacity of currency along Javier Mailei’s government orientation.
It has been shown that the country can lead regulation of the crypto industry. The next step, the impossible, is to integrate a fair and predictable fiscal scheme. If these barriers can be removed, Argentina could attract more investment, generate quality employment, and encourage innovation in key areas such as asset tokens, financial inclusion, and operational efficiency.

In a scenario of demand for increased adoption and improved fiscal equity, the cryptographic ecosystem in Argentina has experienced changes for several months. In March, Cryptootics analyzed National Securities Commission (CNV) resolution number 1058/2025. Requiring stricter supervision of virtual asset services suppliers (PSAVs). This rule establishes clear rules and specific requirements for legal operation in the country. Both local corporations, such as foreigners who provide services such as exchange, custody, or transfer of virtual assets, and their central axis are mandatory registrations in the PSAV Registry.
It’s worth noting Argentina’s CNV has started to look at international models more often Already, we have taken decisive steps towards clearer and more functional laws in the sector. In Marge’s latest edition, Entity’s president Roberto E. Silva recognized El Salvador’s significant advances in the field of digital assets and described his approach as a “model worthy of consideration and praise.”
Observing international models such as El Salvador may provide useful references for industrial development in Argentina. For countries governed by Nayib Bukele, specific committees were created for the handling of virtual assets, and incentives such as tax exemption on Bitcoin profits for foreign investors were implemented in addition to abolishing taxes on technology companies for 15 years. These types of measures may promote innovation and ensure fairer tax treatment in line with more competitive and formal market objectives.
