Argentina VASP / PSAV registration pathway.
Launch or regularize an Argentina-focused virtual-asset business with coordinated company formation, CNV registration readiness, compliance design, and operational support.
Five virtual-asset service categories.

Virtual asset exchange
Exchange between one or more forms of virtual assets.
Virtual asset transfers
Transfer of virtual assets on behalf of users or counterparties.
Custody and administration
Custody or administration of virtual assets or instruments that enable control over them.
Offer and sale-related services

Built for focused crypto business models.
Final eligibility and scope are reviewed case by case, but common project profiles include:

Fiat-to-crypto, crypto-to-fiat, crypto-to-crypto, brokerage, and OTC-oriented operating models.
