Argentina’s central bank is evaluating the repeal of its 2022 ban on banks offering cryptocurrency trading, potentially allowing BTC and stablecoins under strict regulation.

This move could integrate Argentina’s informal crypto use into the formal system, impacting market dynamics and strengthening regulatory oversight.

Argentina’s central bank is considering lifting the ban on bank cryptocurrency trading, initially imposed in 2022, signaling a shift towards integrating crypto under regulatory frameworks.

This move reflects Argentina’s evolving financial policy under President Milei, potentially impacting the banking and cryptocurrency sectors significantly.

Argentina’s Central Bank Explores Crypto Trading in Banks

Argentina’s central bank, known as BCRA, is evaluating revoking a 2022 ban on banks’ crypto activities. The proposed plan could allow banks to offer BTC and stablecoins under strict regulations. The BCRA‘s policy reversal aligns with President Javier Milei’s pro-crypto and financial freedom agenda. Licensed banks might operate dedicated crypto desks, separate from regular banking services.

Banks to Gain Access to Regulated Crypto Markets

This potential policy change could broaden banking participation in the crypto market, impacting both retail and institutional clients. It aims to shift crypto activity from offshore platforms to regulated environments. The regulatory plans may boost financial transparency and address USD flow management amid Argentina’s inflationary pressures. The shift could attract more bank engagements with digital assets.

IMF Pressure Eases: Argentina Considers Crypto Reforms

Previously, the 2022 ban emerged due to IMF pressure discouraging crypto within banks. The current proposal seeks to formalize Argentina’s existing informal crypto economy, already significant among savers. Lessons from Brazil and the EU showcase potential benefits, such as improved market integrity and stability. If successful, Argentina’s approach could encourage broader adoption of crypto banking services.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.  Related: Senate Draft Bill Gains Experts’ Praise for Strongest Developer Protections in Crypto Law Notably, the upcoming roundtable between US legislators and crypto industry leaders is a continuation of the process of regularising cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation.
