Bitget has officially received approval to operate as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Argentina, giving the crypto exchange another important foothold in Latin America.
The registration places Bitget under Argentina’s regulatory framework for crypto companies. This means the exchange must follow local rules related to anti-money laundering, financial reporting, and other compliance requirements set by government authorities.
Argentina has become one of the strongest crypto markets in the region. Nearly 20% of the country’s population now uses digital assets, while more than 15,000 businesses accept crypto payments. As crypto adoption continues to grow, global exchanges are increasingly focusing on the country as a key market.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said that regulations for digital assets are developing quickly across Latin America, making compliance more important than ever. She described Argentina as a major market for the company’s long-term growth plans and said Bitget is committed to following local regulations while supporting the crypto industry.
The approval comes shortly after Bitget made progress in Mexico, showing the company’s broader push to expand across Latin America.
At the same time, Bitget is also growing its tokenized asset business. Earlier this month, the exchange allowed users to use 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs as collateral for USDT-margined futures trading. These include tokenized versions of major companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Microsoft, and Amazon.
According to Chen, more traders are looking for ways to use tokenized assets across different investment and trading activities, which is driving demand for these products.
Bitget Wallet has also expanded its tokenized asset offerings. On June 9, the company introduced direct trading for tokenized real-world assets through its DEX Aggregator API. This allows partner platforms to convert cryptocurrencies into tokenized stocks without needing separate trading systems.
The new system uses a request-for-quote (RFQ) model that helps secure liquidity before trades are completed on the blockchain. Initial partners include Ondo Finance and xStocks, two well-known names in the tokenized asset sector.
Today, Bitget Wallet provides access to more than 300 tokenized products, including stocks, commodities, precious metals, and other financial assets. The company says its tokenized equity products have generated over $30 billion in trading volume since 2025, highlighting the growing interest in blockchain-based investment products.
