Summary
Draft legislation would bring digital assets into Argentina’s capital markets by letting investment funds hold them with regulatory approval and by giving smart contracts full legal recognition.
The proposal also creates a framework for tokenized negotiable securities, allowing issuance, custody, transfer and trading on blockchain-based systems instead of only traditional market infrastructure.
Bitcoin and other digital assets would become eligible loan collateral, potentially widening credit access for investors with large crypto holdings.
The bill is still in draft form and may change before reaching Congress, but it signals Argentina’s push to modernize financial rules and fold decentralized technology into mainstream finance.
If adopted, the reforms could cut legal uncertainty for institutional investors and add momentum to wider debates over tokenization and blockchain-based settlement in global capital markets.
