Asset tokenization in Argentina
We build the platform to tokenize corporate bonds, shares and financial trusts in Argentina: investor onboarding, ERC-3643 tokens and integration with the VASPs that place and hold them, coordinated with the law firm that structures the issuance under the CNV digital representation framework.

Why Argentina
Why tokenize assets in Argentina?
Since 2025, the CNV rules have allowed publicly offered securities to be represented digitally: shares, corporate bonds and financial trusts or closed-end funds backed by real world assets, among others. The framework runs as a sandbox until December 31, 2027 and requires VASPs registered in every category. For an issuer, the decision is which security to tokenize and with which participants.

Debt, equity and revenue: what gets tokenized in Argentina
Almost every tokenized issuance represents one of these three rights against the issuer. In Argentina the right determines which security is issued, who can issue it and which participants the CNV requires, and it is settled before the network or the token standard.
| Right | Debt | Equity | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is issued | Corporate bonds (ONs) | Shares | Trust participation certificates |
| The investor receives | The investor lends to the issuer and receives interest and, at maturity, the principal. | The investor joins the share capital: dividends, voting rights and a share of any sale or liquidation. | The investor receives its share of the cash flows of a trust estate: rents, harvests, contracts or receivables. |

| Issuer | S.A., S.R.L. or cooperative | Publicly offered S.A. | Financial trustee |
| Register | ADCVN and VASP | ADCVN and VASP | ADCVN and VASP |
| Law | Law 23,576 and CNV rules | Law 19,550 and CNV rules | Civil Code, art. 1690 and CNV rules |
| How it is issued | The bond is issued in traditional form under a public offering and deposited with the central securities depository in the name of a holder of record; a VASP manages its digital representation, which is not a new security and carries a ticker ending in “RD”. | The CNV framework admits shares, not quotas: those of an S.R.L. are transferred by an assignment recorded in the Public Registry and fall outside it. Investors vote by instructing the VASP, which locks their tokens until the meeting ends. | The asset or its cash flows move into a financial trust, whose trustee is a financial institution or a company authorized by the CNV, and the trust issues publicly offered certificates. Outside that structure, a revenue right offered in series can still be a security. |
Regulation
Regulation guide for ArgentinaWhich regulation applies to tokenization in Argentina?
Tokenizing securities follows Title XXII of the CNV Rules. The security is issued in traditional form under a public offering and deposited with the central securities depository; a VASP generates and manages its digital representation, which the CNV authorizes separately. Anyone providing virtual asset services must first register in the CNV's VASP register.
Each issuance involves a holder of record, which can be a VASP, a full settlement and clearing agent or another of the eligible parties, an entity specialized in the ledger technology and up to five VASPs named in the issuance document. The tokens can only move between users of those VASPs, never to decentralized protocols, and the smart contract must prevent it.
The CNV requires investors to be warned about the separation between the holder of record and the beneficiary, and the risk this carries in a bankruptcy. A token that is a security cannot be offered to the public without a public offering authorization, not even through a VASP. We work out the structure with specialist law firms, and authorized entities provide the regulated services.

Methodology
How we tokenize an asset in Argentina, step by step
The four phases of our methodology, with the parties involved in Argentina. The law firm and our engineering team work in parallel from the asset review to the placement.
We review the asset's title, encumbrances and cash flows, and decide with the issuer whether the token will be a corporate bond, a share or a participation certificate. That sets the vehicle, an S.A., an S.R.L. or a financial trust, the amount and the rules of the issuance.
The law firm prepares the issuance document with its digital representation chapter and asks the CNV for the public offering, ordinary or under an automatic authorization regime, and for the digital representation authorization. The holder of record, the ledger technology entity and the VASPs are appointed.
We configure the white label platform with the VASP's or the issuer's brand: investor onboarding with KYC, signature, payment and ERC-3643 tokens whose contracts block transfers outside the designated VASPs. The holder of record integration and payment schedules are custom development.
With the issuer and the VASPs placing the issuance, we prepare the offer page and measure the journey to a paid subscription. Afterwards, the platform handles payments and their record dates, voting instructions and the holding certificates each investor requests.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about tokenization in Argentina
What we are asked before a project starts.
Talk to our teamIs asset tokenization legal in Argentina?
Yes, for the securities admitted by Title XXII of the CNV Rules: shares, corporate bonds, CEDEARs and financial trusts or closed-end funds backed by real world assets, among others. The issuer needs public offering and digital representation authorizations, and the framework is a sandbox in force until December 31, 2027.
Can an Argentine S.R.L. tokenize its capital?
Not through its quotas: the CNV framework admits shares, and an S.R.L.'s quotas are transferred by an assignment notified to management and recorded in the Public Registry. An S.R.L. can issue corporate bonds, an option Law 27,264 opened in 2016, and tokenize them under a public offering, or convert into an S.A.
Which offering route does a tokenized issuance use?
A public offering authorized by the CNV, either ordinary or under the automatic authorization regimes; in the low impact ones, only if the issuer voluntarily prepares a prospectus. If the whole issuance is represented digitally, it does not need to be listed on a market. Crowdfunding platforms are a separate regime, with caps per project and per investor.
Does the token give ownership of the asset?
No. The token is an additional digital representation of a security deposited in the name of a holder of record acting on the investor's behalf. In a financial trust, the asset belongs to the trust estate and the investor holds a participation certificate. The issuance document must warn about that separation and its risk in a bankruptcy.
