OKX is a custodial exchange for its central platform, which means it holds the assets in your trading account on your behalf, and it also offers the OKX Wallet, which is a self custody wallet where you hold the keys. Argentine users can fund accounts in pesos through supported local methods, and identity verification, known as know your customer, is required before trading.
OKX offers spot trading and a peer to peer marketplace for Argentine users, along with the Web3 wallet for decentralised applications. The exact product mix can vary over time and by local rules, so confirm what is offered to Argentina on the platform itself.
