Argentina Securities Commission announces first-stage tokenization regime for real world assets and signals a second phase

The Argentina Securities Commission (CNV), represented by its chair Roberto E. Silva, participated in the XXVI Annual Meeting of the Council of Authorities of the Ibero-American Institute of Securities Markets (IIMV) in El Salvador, where it set out Argentina’s approach to asset tokenization and confirmed that Argentina now has a Tokenization Regime approved by the CNV board for a first stage covering real world assets. In a joint session with the head of El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets, Silva discussed regulatory challenges and opportunities linked to the digitalisation of financial instruments, referencing the CNV board’s approval via General Resolution No. 1069 and indicating that a second stage will follow. He also spoke on Argentina’s regulation of Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAVs) during a public panel on digital assets in securities markets, alongside Chile’s Financial Market Commission and El Salvador’s Superintendency of the Financial System, and contributed to an investor protection discussion on finfluencers led by Spain’s National Securities Market Commission.
