The debated statement slipped into the law project that approves the aforementioned refinancing of the debt declares:
The National Government, for a better safeguard of financial stability, will discourage the use of cryptocurrencies in prevention of money laundering and informality, likewise the digitization of payments will have official incentives and additional protection will be given to the financial consumer.
The ONG Bitcoin Argentina (A.C.DECODES) presented yesterday a request for access to public information before the national government to learn about the public policies that could be carried out as a result of the link that arises in the Memorandum of Understanding with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) between the use of crypto assets, money laundering and financial stability or resilience.
We will continue to report as the story develops…
