El Salvador and Argentina have partnered to increase crypto adoption in Latin America. The partnership brings together Juan Carlos Reyes, who heads El Salvador’s National Digital Assets Commission (CNAD), and Roberto Silva, chairman of Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV). This was confirmed by local media reports on 26 March 2025.
Commenting on the partnership, Reyes said, “We have two main goals under international cooperation at CNAD: to share our expertise with international partners and to facilitate the expansion of our regulated companies globally.”
Both countries have shown strong interest in embracing digital assets, albeit through different approaches.

However, President Nayib Bukele has consistently expressed concerns over the slow adoption rate of crypto.
In a TIME Magazine interview, he said that while the country’s Bitcoin strategy has been positive for the country, the adoption rate has fallen short of what he had expected.
Meanwhile, Argentina has seen growing cryptocurrency adoption among its citizens, largely driven by economic instability and inflation concerns. However, in December 2024, Argentina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) “to help develop the crypto industry” in both countries.
