Argentine and Salvadoran Officials Hold Meeting to Discuss Bitcoin Regulations
Officials from Argentina's National Securities Commission (CNV) and Salvadoran National Commission for Digital Assets (CNAD) came together on May 23 to engage in talks regarding the regulation and adoption of bitcoin. This marks the second meeting between these two institutions and suggests the possibility of a regulatory agreement between the two countries.
Argentina is seeking to strengthen its ties with El Salvador and leverage its expertise in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. The meeting, attended by Roberto Silva and Patricia Boedo, President and Vice President of the CNV, and Juan Carlos Reyes, President of the CNAD, focused on various aspects of bitcoin adoption and regulation.
During the discussions, the Salvadoran experience with bitcoin as a legal tender was highlighted, along with regulatory considerations. Silva emphasized the value of El Salvador's expertise in the field of cryptocurrency assets, noting that the establishment of the CNAD had provided them with valuable experience.
Additionally, Silva expressed the CNV's interest in exploring collaboration agreements with El Salvador in relation to crypto and bitcoin. Boedo, who had previously participated in regulatory meetings in El Salvador, emphasized the importance of strengthening ties with a country that is a pioneer in this field and possesses extensive experience.
Reyes acknowledged Argentina's pioneering role in digital asset technology and recognized the CNV's commitment to working efficiently with the industry and establishing appropriate regulations. This is not the first meeting between these two institutions, as Boedo had previously visited El Salvador in March to discuss regulatory issues.
