In recent years, the capital market has been growing at exponential rhythms. Investments have been transformed into an alternative through which more and more Argentines seek to obtain performance and be up to date with the dynamism of the local economic context.
This growing interest translates into volumes that constantly break records. 2024 ended in December with the maximum peak of operations on one day of the year reaching the figure of 1,121,572 (December 18), which represents 76% more with respect to the daily average 2024. 2025 continued to maintain the growing trend of operations, in the first month of the year the daily average operations exceed London (LSEG).
To enhance this scenario, Byma will advance its world -class technological strategy through the development of projects that imply an investment of 21 million dollars for the next few years, of which 80% will be allocated between 2025 and 2026.
This implies almost double the amount invested in the last 3 years for the next period, materializing a strong commitment to the impulse of technological evolution for the local ecosystem.
Through alliances with world leaders such as Amazon Web Services, Epam, Nasdaq, Oracle, Red Hat -among others- ; Byma projects to continue strengthening the TI infrastructure of the Argentine market. The focus is to enhance the scalability and the capacity of the systems that make volume of increasingly high operations. Some ongoing projects that are generating impact on the ecosystem are:

- With Oracle, Byma will evolve the offer of technological services for market member agents.
- Together with Nasdaq, Byma will renew its risk and risk liquidation system throughout the year, known internationally as Clearing; after having implemented with the leader provider the custody system in 2023.
Thus, the operative cycle has evolved towards its end -to -end integration with technology world class : Negotiation and Market Data (Millennium, Epam); Postrade (Nasdaq) and custody (Nasdaq).
Employment generation. Technological investment also enhances the greatest generation of employment. Internal level, Ti evolution opens new opportunities for the development of BYMA collaborators with technological focus.

An innovation tour. The announcement of projections are part of a technological evolution strategy that Byma has been advancing for years. Since 2022, Byma has already invested $ 25.4 million [1] In key projects.
Market growth in numbers: 2024 vs.2025
In December 2024, there was an exponential increase that exceeded and marked a turning point in the evolutionary tendency of the year that ended. And that established a favorable starting point for 2025.
Operations
- In 2024 about 640 thousand daily operations were registered, 92% more if compared to the daily average of 2023. This number has maintained sustained growth, for example, the daily average of December 2024 was 820 thousand operations. In addition, on an exceptional day that took place on 12/18, the number amounted to 1,121,572 operations in a single day.
- These results were overcome in the first month of 2025 during which the daily average operations was 32% greater than the daily average 2024 reaching a total of 843,000 operations on a day .
Transfers
- In 2024 a monthly average of transfers of more than 10.7 million was recorded.
- So far from 2025, this figure was exceeded by 56%, reaching a total of 16.7 million monthly transactions.
- During this year, there was already a maximum peak of transactions that reached 2.89 million in one day, which exceeded 464% the daily average 2024 and 297% the daily average 2025.
ADTV (average daily negotiation volume)

- In 2025, the ADTV trend was incremental. He Daily average of 2025 shows a 57% growth compared to the daily average of the entire 2024.
Open Citizen Accounts
- 2024 ended with 16.5 million open camper accounts, 80.9% more compared to the total with which it ended in 2023. And virtual wallets explain a large percentage of that total, representing 37%. Every month approximately 600,000 new accounts open.
- In it First month of 2025 Citizens They grew by 26% Regarding the total with which it ended 2024. Today, the total is 20 million.
International context. The local scenario is increasingly attractive, and is even generating volumes that exceed international markets. Data analysis yields the following comparisons: The daily average of operations registered in Byma during 2024 was 9% higher than a leader of the world such as the London Stock Exchange, whose annual average was housed in the 597,361 daily operations. If we compare the daily average of December operations, the byma is higher than that of said stock market by 44%.
What do these numbers indicate?
- That the local market is expanding and acquiring greater depth approaching and rising above the activity of other markets that until some time ago were distant. In this scenario, the processing capacity of the technological infrastructure of the Argentine market charges a central role.
- That companies can access more financing opportunities. According to data from the National Securities Commission, the financing of the companies accumulated as of December 2024 reached US $ 23,932 million, a historical record that more than doubled what was placed in 2023. The amount of the year 2024 also exceeded by 20% the previous historical maximum reached in 2018. If people decide to transform their savings into investments, companies can obtain funds to specify projects. If the current economic conditions are sustained, the consolidation of an increasingly solid population savings structure will be deepened, which will favor the long -standing vision and the arrival of international investments.
Challenges and projections
As the numbers express, the growing interest and access of the participants to the market is not an isolated event or circumstantial behavior, but sustained over time indicating that Argentina today is positioned on new bases.
From Byma we have been generating the conditions for this to happen, with preparation, investing in the incorporation of the systems used by the world’s leading markets. As in every evolutionary path, there is a process of adaptation by all the factors and participants of the market, and instances may occur in which our systems can perceive stress situations.
The Byma approach is to continue investing to introduce solutions that can make the growing interest of investors through the Argentine market.
