Availability for residents of Argentina

Access, identity checks, and products
Phemex is a custodial platform that offers crypto spot trading and derivatives, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Residents of Argentina typically verify their identity and can then fund an account to trade supported products. The exact products offered to Argentina depend on local rules, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Derivatives products carry a high level of risk and are not offered everywhere. Trying to bypass a location restriction, for example by using a virtual private network or a foreign address, can breach the platforms terms of service and put funds and account access at risk. The safer route is to use a platform that openly serves Argentina and to verify its status before signing up.
