ARGENTINA:
VASP & PSP
Argentina: VASP (PSAV) / Crypto License
As of mid April, 2025 the Argentina government has lifted the Foreign Exchange Restrictions on the US dollar. This will allow banks to offer crypto, and PSPs to offer crypto and USD services. In addition, a new campaign has set forth to allow undeclared dollars to enter the market tax free and with “no questions asked”, this is estimated to open up nearly $270 Billion in new funds.
Obtaining a crypto license in Argentina provides businesses with greater operational stability and access to a rapidly growing user base eager to engage with regulated platforms. The licensing process creates transparency, enabling businesses to build trust with both users and regulators, ultimately fostering long-term growth and sustainability. Licensed companies can also leverage Argentina’s strong fintech and blockchain ecosystem, benefiting from collaborative opportunities with industry leaders and innovative startups.
The regulatory framework accommodates a wide range of crypto-related services, from exchanges and custodial solutions to payment processors and token issuance platforms. Businesses that comply with these new regulations can operate with greater legal certainty, positioning themselves ahead of competitors who may struggle with compliance issues in the future. As Argentina continues to refine its regulatory approach, early adopters will have a strategic advantage in shaping the country’s evolving crypto landscape.
VASPs are separated into 5 categories:
Category 1: Exchange between virtual assets and fiat.
Category 2: Exchange between 1 or more forms of virtual assets.
Category 3: Transfer of virtual assets.
Category 4: Custody and/or administration of virtual assets or instruments that allow control over them.
Category 5: Participation and provision of financial services related to the offer of an issuer and/or sale of a virtual asset.
From Ready Corp Ltd, specializing in compliance and technology applied to the financial and crypto ecosystem, we offer a comprehensive service for compliance, monitoring, document management, and ongoing support in response to this new regulatory framework.

PSP (Payment Service Provider)
Company setup with PSP CP License (gaming & gambling friendly) in Argentina; regulated by BCRA.
Securing a PSP license in Argentina provides financial service providers with legal clarity and operational legitimacy in a fast-evolving market. Licensed PSPs are recognized as regulated entities, which builds trust with consumers, financial institutions, and business partners. This recognition is particularly important for companies aiming to offer services such as digital payments, mobile wallets, merchant processing, and cross-border transaction solutions. The license ensures adherence to local anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) frameworks, enhancing the company’s reputation and security posture.
With rising demand for digital payments, PSPs in Argentina are uniquely positioned to fill the gap between traditional financial services and modern user expectations. The licensing framework allows providers to design and implement agile payment solutions that can support e-commerce, business-to-business (B2B) transactions, and real-time payment ecosystems. In doing so, licensed entities are not only meeting regulatory standards but are also empowering businesses and consumers to transact with greater speed, convenience, and reliability.
Another key advantage of holding a PSP license in Argentina is access to smoother integration with banks, card networks, and financial technology partners. With this regulatory backing, providers can strengthen their partnerships and expand their services across sectors. This enhances both the scalability and sustainability of their offerings, paving the way for innovation and long-term success in one of Latin America’s most promising financial markets.
By obtaining a PSP license in Argentina, companies gain the ability to operate within a supportive legal framework while remaining agile and competitive in an economy that increasingly values digital solutions. With the right infrastructure and a clear path to compliance, PSPs are well-positioned to lead the next wave of payment innovation in Argentina.
