Bitget Enters the Argentine Market
Bitget has officially entered the Argentine market after registering as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP), marking a significant step in the company’s efforts to expand its footprint across Latin America, where crypto adoption is nearing 20%. The National Securities Commission of Argentina, locally known as the CNV, has included Bitget in its registry for VASPs, enabling the exchange to operate legally within the country under the established regulations for cryptocurrency service providers.
This registration ensures that Bitget will adhere to stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations as mandated by Argentine authorities. Under this regulatory framework, Bitget must fulfill various compliance and reporting obligations to Argentina’s Financial Information Unit and other pertinent regulatory bodies.
Argentina’s Growing Crypto Market
This development comes at a time when Latin American countries are actively establishing formal regulations for digital asset businesses, culminating in Argentina evolving into one of the continent’s most vibrant cryptocurrency markets. Evidence suggests that nearly one-fifth of the Argentine population engages with digital currencies, while over 15,000 businesses are now accepting crypto payments. These dynamics have turned Argentina into a hotspot for crypto exchanges seeking growth opportunities in the region.
“As frameworks continue to evolve, aligning with local regulations becomes essential for sustainable growth. Argentina is a vital player in the broader context of digital assets within the region,”
Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget, emphasized the critical nature of regulatory compliance for cryptocurrency platforms in Latin America.
Strategic Positioning and Innovations
This registration follows recent advancements in Mexico’s regulatory landscape, positioning Bitget strategically in markets characterized by growing crypto adoption and regulatory evolution. In addition to its regulatory progress, Bitget has recently intensified its focus on blending traditional finance with digital asset offerings.
Earlier in June, the platform extended its capabilities by allowing the use of 15 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds—including shares from giants like Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft—as collateral for USDT-margined futures trading via its Unified Trading Account system. Chen pointed out the increasing demand for opportunities to utilize tokenized assets across various trading activities.
Enhancements to Bitget Wallet
On June 9, Bitget Wallet announced enhancements to its infrastructure for tokenized assets by launching direct trading capabilities for these assets through its DEX Aggregator API. This allows trading partners to execute transactions from cryptocurrencies into tokenized equities seamlessly, without needing independent trading systems.
The wallet upgrade includes a request-for-quote (RFQ) based routing model to ensure liquidity before orders are placed on the blockchain. Initial partners in this initiative include Ondo Finance and xStocks, both major players in the tokenized asset market.
Bitget Wallet has reported that its ecosystem now provides access to over 300 tokenized products, spanning various sectors like equities, commodities, and precious metals. Notably, Bitget’s tokenized equity offerings have accumulated more than $30 billion in trading volume since their inception in 2025.
