Binance Joins Argentina’s Virtual Asset Service Providers Registry
Crypto exchange Binance has marked a significant achievement by joining Argentina's Virtual Asset Service Providers Registry, making it the 20th country where the platform has secured regulatory approval. This move will allow Binance to offer its full range of services to Argentina-based users, further solidifying its presence in the country's cryptocurrency market.
On October 1, Binance officially announced that it had been incorporated into Argentina’s registry, overseen by the National Securities Commission (CNV). This addition not only strengthens Binance's global compliance efforts but also demonstrates its ongoing commitment to creating a secure and regulated environment for crypto users around the world.
With the new registration, Binance is now able to expand its services in Argentina, offering users access to the platform’s full suite of tools, including trading, investment, and financial services. Binance emphasized that this milestone is a part of its broader strategy to grow and integrate into different regulatory frameworks globally, while promoting the safe adoption of cryptocurrencies.
A key focus of Binance’s compliance program includes robust anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) measures, along with identity verification processes (KYC and KYB). The platform also maintains a dedicated Financial Crime Compliance unit that works with law enforcement agencies to address and prevent crypto-related crimes.
Guilherme Nazar, Binance’s head of Latin America, highlighted the importance of Argentina to the company’s overall strategy. He stated, "Argentina is a key market for Binance. We will continue to work closely with the authorities to develop the industry most sustainably and securely for the benefit of the crypto community and society as a whole."
The new registration in Argentina follows a series of recent regulatory accomplishments by Binance in other countries such as India, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia. These achievements highlight Binance’s commitment to expanding its global footprint while adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
As cryptocurrencies continue to grow in popularity, Binance's efforts to expand its services to more regions, while maintaining strict compliance protocols, are crucial in fostering trust among users and regulators alike. By establishing itself in Argentina, Binance strengthens its position in Latin America and further cements its role in shaping the future of global crypto markets.
