As of 26 June 2026, Bybit is available to residents of Argentina and offers spot and other products. The regulator for the sector is the National Securities Commission (Comision Nacional de Valores, or CNV), which keeps a register of virtual asset service providers known as PSAV.

Availability for Argentine residents
As of 26 June 2026, Bybit is reachable by residents of Argentina and offers spot trading and other products. The regulator for the sector is the National Securities Commission (Comision Nacional de Valores, or CNV). Under Law 27,739 and the CNV implementing rules, providers operating professionally with virtual assets in Argentina must register in the PSAV register, the register of virtual asset service providers.
Public reporting in 2026 listed Bybit among the platforms registered as PSAV in Argentina, alongside other established exchanges. The PSAV framework became operational over 2025 and 2026, with most obligations binding on already registered providers. Anti money laundering supervision in Argentina also involves the Financial Information Unit (Unidad de Informacion Financiera, or UIF).
Registration on the PSAV register is a registration to operate, not an endorsement of any product. Confirm the current entry for Bybit on the CNV register and check what is offered to Argentina on the platform itself before acting.
Access, KYC, and products
Bybit is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Argentine users typically fund accounts using local methods and stablecoins, and identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) is required before trading. A registered PSAV is expected to apply local anti money laundering checks.
The product mix offered to a given country depends on local rules and on the registrations the platform holds. Some products, such as certain derivatives, can be restricted in some markets. Confirm what is offered to Argentina on the platform itself before relying on it.
How crypto is taxed in Argentina
Argentina taxes crypto through its national tax authority, ARCA (formerly AFIP). Depending on the activity, crypto can fall within income tax and within the personal asset tax that applies to holdings, and registered providers can be required to report user information to the authority. The exact treatment depends on residency, the type of asset, and current rules.
Rules and thresholds change and depend on personal circumstances, so confirm the current treatment with ARCA or a qualified adviser. See the Argentina crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Several platforms are registered as virtual asset service providers and serve Argentine residents. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely registered and available in Argentina before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
