Crypto advocates in Argentina warn that capital controls remain the main obstacle to expanding the digital asset market. While President Milei’s government has eased restrictions for individual citizens, Maslatón criticized ongoing limitations on international trade and investment flows.

He suggested that a government decree prioritizing Bitcoin-friendly regulations, combined with unrestricted banking conversions between pesos and cryptocurrencies, could have dramatically accelerated adoption. “Just with that, the crypto market would have exploded,” Maslatón said, calling the missed opportunity a potential political advantage as well.
