The National Securities Commission (CNV) of Argentina met with El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) to discuss crypto adoption and regulation in both countries. The meeting took place on May 23 and included CNV president Roberto Silva, CNV vice president Patricia Boedo, and CNAD president Juan Carlos Reyes.
During the meeting, the officials discussed El Salvador’s journey as the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. They exchanged ideas and approaches regarding the use of cryptocurrency in global economies, with a particular focus on El Salvador’s experience.
Roberto Silva highlighted El Salvador’s leadership in Bitcoin adoption and its broader impact on the cryptocurrency industry. He stressed the importance of insights gained by CNAD, which regulates the digital asset market in El Salvador. According to Silva, understanding these insights is crucial for Argentina’s regulatory efforts.
Patricia Boedo, who visited El Salvador in March to participate in meetings on market development, emphasized the importance of El Salvador’s expertise. She noted that Argentina aims to work efficiently with the industry to create appropriate regulations.
El Salvador’s CNAD president, Juan Carlos Reyes, acknowledged Argentina’s pioneering role in technology. He expressed El Salvador’s willingness to share its experience and help Argentina in its regulatory efforts.
This collaboration comes as Argentina moves forward with regulating its local cryptocurrency market. In April, Argentina passed registration requirements for crypto firms. The country has been increasingly active in the crypto space since Bitcoin enthusiast politician Javier Milei became Argentina’s president in late 2023.
Argentina’s foreign affairs minister, Diana Mondino, announced in late 2023 that the government was preparing a decree to legalize the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for payments under certain conditions.
