Argentina Securities Commission outlines RG 1081 expansion of its tokenization regime to shares, negotiable obligations and CEDEARs

At a virtual event on “Phase two of tokenization of Argentina’s assets” hosted by the Argentine Fintech Chamber, Argentina’s Securities Commission (CNV) President Roberto E. Silva presented the recent expansion of the CNV Tokenization Regime for the digital representation of negotiable securities, adopted through General Resolution No. 1081. Silva said the first stage had approved tokenization for real world assets (RWA), while the expanded framework significantly broadens the universe of securities eligible for digital representation to include shares (including dual-listed shares), negotiable obligations and CEDEARs. The session also featured contributions from a CNV lawyer in the Inspections and Investigations unit and the chamber’s head of payments and crypto, followed by a technical panel and a Q&A focused on the rule and its implementation, with participation from sector stakeholders including firms from the chamber’s more than 300 member companies.
