“Digital finance, technology and virtual assets today enable cross-border payments very quickly and easily. But these changes also come with multiple risks. Otherwise, they can become a vehicle for organized crime, the destabilization of national currencies or the deepening of informal markets,” Negri said during the “Fintech and virtual currencies” panel.
In this context, he stressed that there is a “general consensus that the crypto-assets industry has to adapt to the rules of the international financial system” and said that Argentina is working on “a regulation that is in line with international standards” that are being adopted in the main countries of the world.
Similarly, he stated that “The objective is to make the country a reference in the region for this type of regulation”which allows innovation to be encouraged without neglecting the protection of investors.
The head of the CNV shared the panel with the person in charge of the area Anti Money Laundering & Sanctions Compliance Corporate of Mercado Libre, María Laura Limongelli; and Agustian Capellades, member of the Economic Crimes Commission of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences.
