The case of El Salvador in the massive adoption of Bitcoin has not gone unnoticed. Argentina has problems on the economic agenda and has already started cooperation with El Salvador to learn from its experience. In May, the National Securities Commission, or CNV, of Argentina met with El Salvador’s National Commission of Digital Assets, CNAD, to discuss possible crypto adoption and regulation agreements. According to Silva, the president of the CNV, there is a desire to strengthen ties and research opportunities for cooperation.
