Argentina approves crypto ETFs, enabling investments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and more. This move boosts financial market opportunities.
Argentina is embracing new investment opportunities in its stock market. The country’s securities watchdog, the CNV, approved the introduction of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This move will allow investors to engage in foreign ETFs linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and even the Chinese stock market index. This important measure correlates with the libertarian policies of President Javier Milei, who is trying to expand the possibilities of investing.
CNV President Roberto E. Silva described the new move as historic. He said that getting the approval for CEDEARs which stands for Certificate of Deposit was among the biggest achievements. It was the first time that the initiative of such investments would be allowed by Law No. 27.440 enacted six years ago. According to Silva this innovation will put Argentina on par with the rest of the world in terms of financial market.
These new CEDEARs will relate to ETFs that invest in such cryptos as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This creates room for local investors to trade in virtual assets through the conventional capital market intermediaries. In the past, such options were mainly within the US making this a new change for Argentina.
Argentina Launches Gold, S&P 500, and Crypto ETFs
The CEDEARs will also comprise ETFs in other assets such as gold. One ETF, known as GLD, will provide investors with access to gold. Further, the global stock market indices ETFs including the FXI ETF that tracks the Chinese stock market will also be possible. One of the new arrivals is the “inverse” ETF of the S&P 500 index.
These new offerings are seen to foster diversification of the investments. It will also mobilise more foreign capital in Argentina. According to the CNV, the passing of the RG No. 1030 will result to more establishments of CEDEARs. These will mimic passive management indices, commodities and virtual assets. Nevertheless, these ETFs will be priced abroad without an offering to the public in Argentina.
