Bitget enters Argentina’s regulated crypto market through PSAV registration

Bitget has secured registration in Argentina as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, adding another regulated market to its Latin American footprint as crypto adoption in the country approaches 20% of the population.

According to a press release shared with crypto.news, Bitget has been added to Argentina’s Virtual Asset Service Provider registry maintained by the National Securities Commission, known locally as the CNV. 

The registration allows the exchange to operate within the country’s existing framework for crypto service providers while complying with oversight requirements tied to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules.

As part of the registration, Bitget will be subject to reporting and compliance obligations before Argentina’s Financial Information Unit and other relevant authorities. The approval comes as policymakers across Latin America continue building formal rules for digital asset businesses operating in their jurisdictions.

Argentina has emerged as one of the region’s busiest crypto markets, with company data indicating that nearly 20% of the population uses digital assets and more than 15,000 businesses accept crypto payments. Growing participation has turned the country into a key destination for exchanges seeking expansion opportunities across Latin America.

“Regulatory frameworks for digital assets continue developing across Latin America, making compliance and registration increasingly important for platforms operating in the region,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. 

“Argentina represents an important market within Latin America’s broader digital asset landscape, and Bitget remains focused on supporting sustainable growth by aligning with local regulatory requirements.”

Argentina adds to Bitget’s regional expansion

Coming shortly after regulatory progress in Mexico, the Argentina registration extends Bitget’s presence in markets where crypto adoption and regulatory development are advancing at the same time.

Recent months have also seen the company deepen its focus on products that connect digital assets with traditional finance. Earlier in June, Bitget enabled 15 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds, including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft and Amazon-linked assets, to be used as collateral for USDT-margined futures trading through its Unified Trading Account system.

At the time, Chen said users were looking for more ways to put tokenized assets to work across different trading activities as demand for blockchain-based financial products continued to grow.

A separate announcement from Bitget Wallet on June 9 expanded the company’s tokenized asset infrastructure further. The wallet introduced support for direct trading of tokenized real-world assets through its DEX Aggregator API, allowing partner platforms to route trades from cryptocurrencies into tokenized stocks without requiring separate trading systems.

According to Bitget Wallet, the upgrade introduced an RFQ-based routing model designed to secure liquidity before transactions reach the blockchain. Initial integrations included Ondo Finance and xStocks, two of the largest participants in the tokenized asset sector.

Bitget Wallet also reported that its ecosystem now offers access to more than 300 tokenized products spanning equities, commodities, precious metals and other financial instruments. Company figures further show that Bitget’s tokenized equity products have generated more than $30 billion in trading volume since 2025.
