Argentina does not appear on Upholds published list of jurisdictions it does not support, last updated 25 June 2026, and Uphold serves customers across much of Latin America.

Availability for residents of Argentina
As of 26 June 2026, Uphold is available to residents of Argentina. Argentina does not appear on Upholds published list of jurisdictions it does not support, last updated 25 June 2026, and the platform offers its services across much of the Latin American region. Verification of identity, known as know your customer, is required before trading, and the products available can vary by country.
Argentina has built a dedicated framework for crypto platforms. Law 27,739 designated the Comision Nacional de Valores (CNV) as the authority for proveedores de servicios de activos virtuales, the local term for virtual asset service providers. The CNV created the registry through General Resolution 994 and set out the detailed rules in General Resolution 1058 in 2025, with staged deadlines for individuals and for domestic and foreign companies to register.
Whether a given platform appears on the CNV registry is a separate question from whether it is reachable, so treat this availability as accurate as of 26 June 2026 and confirm directly with Uphold and the Comision Nacional de Valores whether Uphold is registered to serve Argentine residents before you act.
Access, identity checks, and products
Uphold 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 verify their identity and can fund an account to buy, sell, and hold a range of crypto assets. The exact products offered to Argentina depend on local rules and on the registrations Uphold holds, so check the platform itself for the current list.
Argentina has seen rapid adoption of crypto alongside high inflation, and the registry overseen by the Comision Nacional de Valores is intended to bring platforms within anti money laundering and consumer protection supervision. Confirm what is offered to Argentina on the platform, and treat registration with the CNV as the main moving part rather than the day to day mechanics.
How crypto is taxed in Argentina
Crypto is taxable in Argentina. As of 26 June 2026, the national tax authority is the Agencia de Recaudacion y Control Aduanero (ARCA), which replaced the former Administracion Federal de Ingresos Publicos. Gains on the sale of crypto can fall within income tax, and the personal assets tax may apply to holdings, depending on your residence and circumstances.
Tax rules and thresholds change and depend on your situation, so confirm the current treatment with the Agencia de Recaudacion y Control Aduanero or a qualified tax professional. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Uphold and several other platforms serve residents of Argentina as of 26 June 2026. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely 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.
