Crypto Brokers in Argentina, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Argentina has a regulated local capital market via CNV-licensed ALYC brokers providing access to ByMA (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos) and Rofex futures. OTC retail FX/CFDs are not licensed by CNV. The BCRA's strict foreign-exchange controls (since 2019) heavily restrict outbound USD flows, pushing most active retail traders toward the parallel MEP and CCL markets, USDT crypto rails, or offshore brokers accessed through ARS→USDT→broker conversions.

Payment methods

Tax

Capital gains on ByMA-listed securities are exempt from income tax for individual residents (since 2018 reform). Profits from offshore brokers and dollar-denominated assets are taxable as foreign-source income at progressive rates up to 35%. Bienes Personales (wealth tax) applies to assets above ARS 27 million (2026 threshold) at progressive rates up to 1.5%.

Retail trading rules

BCRA foreign-exchange controls cap retail USD purchases at the official rate to USD 200 per month (subject to availability and surcharges). Higher-volume traders use MEP (Bolsa) or CCL (Contado con Liquidación) routes via local brokers, settling in offshore USD accounts. CNV does not authorise OTC retail CFD providers; offshore brokers operate without local recourse. Argentina's experience with FX controls makes funding via USDT cryptocurrency the dominant retail workaround.
