Binance's registration with the CNV highlights the company's commitment to compliance, in Argentina and worldwide, for the growth and expansion of the crypto industry in a safe and sustainable manner. The news closely follows recent regulatory wins in diverse regions like India, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia, illustrating Binance’s sustained global momentum and adding to previously secured licenses, registrations, and authorizations in jurisdictions like Dubai, France, Japan, El Salvador, and others.

Additionally, with this new registration, Binance's website and application are now fully available to Argentine users, providing them with access to Binance's complete suite of services and tools.

Guilherme Nazar, Binance's Head of Latin America, said: “At Binance, we support forward-looking regulation and believe that it is key to ensuring that the industry continues to evolve and that adoption occurs in a safe manner. As an industry leader with licenses and registrations in 20 jurisdictions worldwide, Binance is committed to the development of the crypto ecosystem globally and in Argentina, in compliance with local requirements.” He also noted: “Argentina is a key market for Binance. We will continue to work closely with the authorities to develop the industry in the most sustainable and secure way for the benefit of the crypto community and society as a whole.”

In line with its global standards, Binance’s compliance program includes robust anti-money laundering (AML) policies and controls and a comprehensive framework to combat the financing of terrorism (CFT).

In addition to rigorous AML and CFT controls, key components of Binance's compliance program include robust identity verification processes (Know Your Customer and Know Your Business, or KYC and KYB) and the industry-leading Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) unit, designed to assist law enforcement in investigating crypto asset-related crimes and capacity building, thereby strengthening the collaborative security of the ecosystem.

“Binance's commitment to security and regulation is a fundamental part of our strategy. We are convinced that in this way, we can contribute significantly to the development of the local and global industry, raising standards for the protection of users and creating a transparent and efficient financial environment,” concluded Nazar.
