Argentina Central Bank Keeps Crypto Ban on Banks, Citing Economic Fragility

This is less a crypto-specific stance than a macro-prudential one: the BCRA is treating digital assets as a symptom of the instability it is still managing, not as a lever it wants to pull. The practical effect falls on Argentine banks and payment firms, which remain locked out of a market their customers access directly, and on crypto businesses that cannot plug into regulated rails. The signal to watch is the sequencing — the official ties any rethink to economic conditions and a possible second Milei term, making this a political-calendar question rather than a policy review already underway.
