Argentine authorities said they were interested in “learning more” about the Salvadoran government’s experience with adopting Bitcoin as legal tender. Silva said:
“El Salvador has emerged as one of the leading countries, not only in the use of Bitcoin, but also in [wider] world of crypto assets.”
Silva praised the Salvadoran government for creating the CNAD. He said the nation has “experience that is very valuable to the CNV at this time.” Silva explained:
“We want to strengthen ties with El Salvador. Therefore, we will explore the possibility of signing collaboration agreements with [the Salvadoran government].”
Boedo visited El Salvador in March this year for preliminary “technical meetings”.

‘Approaching’ Boost for Bitcoin Community?
CNV confirmed that it has also spoken to its colleagues about “key elements” of Bitcoin “regulation.”
Reyes commented that Argentina “is a pioneer in the technology sector”. He added that the CNV “wants to work with the [Bitcoin and digital assets] industries efficiently and create appropriate regulations.”
The move could be a form of comfort for Argentina’s Bitcoin and crypto communities.
Despite much talk about President Javier Milei’s pro-Bitcoin views, Buenos Aires has apparently “caved in” to IMF pressure over crypto regulation.
The nation has announced a series of regulations related to crypto exchange in an attempt to appease the IMF and guarantee financial packages.
However, Criptonoticias noted that “the rapprochement between Argentina and El Salvador” was “opening up the possibility” that the new Argentine regulations would be “friendly” and “relatively unrestrictive.”

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
