Binance has just reached a significant milestone by securing regulatory approval to operate fully in Argentina. This achievement marks the company’s 20th global regulatory approval, allowing it to expand its services in a region that shows increasing demand for cryptocurrency. With this registration, Binance can now offer its complete suite of services, enabling users in Argentina to trade, buy, and sell various cryptocurrencies legally.
A New Era For Cryptocurrency In Argentina
For Binance and its customers, this clearance from Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) marks a major change. Previously, the exchange had limited operations in the country, but now, with the full backing of local regulators, its platform is completely accessible.
The interface will be free and accessible to the general public, so people can freely interact with it on both the mobile and web applications. Binance’s business model is mostly based in Argentina because the market is considered to hold great potential for accepting cryptos.
Proud to announce that #Binance has secured registration in Argentina! 🇦🇷
We now have 2️⃣0️⃣ regulatory approvals globally.
Our commitment to a sustainable, secure & safe blockchain ecosystem for our users in LatAm and all over the world continues. 🚀https://t.co/0oHPsePA3T

The head of Latin America for Binance, Guilherme Nazar said that the approval was very important, representing a willingness of the company to work closely with the authorities in this part of the globe to build a safe and sustainable crypto-ecosystem.
The growing compliance and security measures of Binance also contribute to the company’s success lately, which is not entirely attributed to the growth in its service offerings. The organization has taken a comprehensive compliance program that includes very solid anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) measures within its framework.
In addition to these, Binance is enforcing Know Your Customer and Know Your Business protocols to make proper verification of its users’ identities. This would improve security in customer and community trust in cryptocurrencies.
Binance: Future Expansion Strategy
Binance is expected to continue focusing on presence in Latin America after a new approval in Argentina. The company seems to be intent on continuing seeking advantageous conditions for legal and profitable crypto ventures in the region. The recent approvals in Kazakhstan and India demonstrate once more the company’s interest in consistently and continuously consolidating its presence in markets around the world.
Nazar emphasized the importance of Argentina for the crypto exchange future endeavors. The organization’s objective is to establish an environment that encourages the secure adoption of cryptocurrencies by collaborating closely with regulators. This dedication not only benefits Binance but also makes a substantial contribution to the overall growth of the local crypto industry.
Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has been released from a US prison for serving four months related to Anti-Money Laundering violations on September 27. While freed, Zhao remains restricted from running or operating the crypto exchange since Binance’s current CEO, Richard Teng, confirmed on September 5 Zhao has received a lifetime ban from involvement in the company’s operations.
