Crypto Brokers in Argentina, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Argentina has a regulated local capital market via CNV-licensed ALYC brokers — IOL invertironline, Bull Market Brokers, Cohen, BAVSA — 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 (Exness, AvaTrade) accessed through ARS→USDT→broker conversions.

Payment methods
Bank transferMercado PagoVisaBoleto
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.
