Thousands of Argentine users have contacted Bitcoin (BTC) and Cryptocurrency exchange platforms, such as Lemon, Bitso and Satoshi Tango, to regularize their digital assets, in a process that the government promotes to combat money laundering. These platforms have responded with mass guidance, facilitating the process.

Julián Colombo, general manager of Bitso, said to the local press who have received queries, mostly, of individual clients, and less of corporate clients. “Although we prefer not to talk about amounts for now, the volume of concerns is increasing progressively and will continue to do so as the deadline approaches,” which is next September 30.
Lemon has a similar opinion. The director of Public Affairs, Juan Pablo Fridenberg, says that in that company the number of queries “increases as the days go by.” This is both through support, for smaller amounts, as derived from accounting and legal studies in cases of larger assets, according to the executive.
Matias Bari, from Satoshi Tango, He asserted that in recent weeks they have received “hundreds of queries.” “And the pace will intensify as September 30 approaches,” he said.
