Argentina's taking a sharp U-turn on crypto policy. Their central bank is working on fresh regulations that could let traditional banks jump into crypto trading services for retail customers. Target date? April 2026.

What makes this interesting is the backdrop. Back in May 2022, the central bank slammed the door shut on banks offering any crypto-related products. Now they're drafting rules to reverse that entirely. That's almost four years of prohibition getting wiped away.

The move signals Argentina might be warming up to digital assets at the institutional level. For banks sitting on the sidelines, this could open doors to tap into retail demand that's been flowing to offshore platforms or P2P channels. Whether this attracts fresh capital or just formalizes what's already happening under the radar remains to be seen.

One thing's certain—2026 could mark a turning point for how Argentinians access crypto through their everyday banking apps.
