The Latam Digital Assets Conf will take place August 20-21 in Buenos Aires, bringing together banks, fintechs, regulators and investors to discuss stablecoins, tokenization and digital finance regulation across Latin America. According to reports from Crecimiento, the two-day conference will cover digital asset regulation, stablecoins, payments, tokenization and institutional decentralized finance through panels and public-private working sessions.
The event arrives as major financial institutions deepen their push into digital assets. JPMorgan launched its own institutional digital currency in late 2025, while BlackRock's tokenized fund has surpassed $2 billion in assets. The DTCC has launched a tokenization service with dozens of financial firms, as reported by Crecimiento. Stablecoins already account for more than 60% of crypto activity in Argentina, and six in ten new corporate clients onboarded by Bitso Business in 2026 were banks or traditional financial institutions.
Argentina's regulatory framework has kept pace with institutional adoption. Decree 475/2026 aligned crypto tax treatment with other financial activity, and the National Securities Commission (CNV) now oversees a registry of virtual asset service providers and a growing tokenization regime. A recent study by EY and Taquion found that one in two Argentines want traditional banks to offer digital asset services, according to Crecimiento.
Confirmed speakers include congress member Martín Yeza, Buenos Aires city legislator Darío Nieto, and industry leaders such as Pablo Moauro (ADEBA), Gonzalo Pascual Merlo (BYMA Digital), Rafael Soto (MODO), Gastón Irigoyen (Pomelo), Manuel Beaudroit (belo), Julián Colombo (Bitso), Rafael D'Ambrosi (Twin), Eduardo Novillo Astrada (Agrotoken), Borja Martel (Roxom), Sarina Gowland (Fireblocks), Kyle Rojas (Ethereum Foundation) and Hanna Schiuma (Lucero), as reported by Crecimiento.
The Latam Digital Assets Conf is part of Aleph Week, which runs from August 17 to 23 and brings together banks, protocols, builders, and regulators in Buenos Aires. Following the conference, the Aleph Hackathon will also take place, among other events to be announced in the coming weeks, according to Crecimiento.
