Today in crypto, Argentina has introduced new rules for crypto
firms. Meanwhile, in the United States, a new bill seeks to
formalize former President Donald Trump’s executive order to
establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, Democrat
Representative Gerald is pushing for the US Treasury to halt any
efforts toward creating a crypto reserve.
Argentina finalizes rules for virtual asset providers
Argentina’s securities regulator
has finalized rules for virtual asset service providers
(VASPs), which cover general codes of conduct and custody
requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges and other platforms
facilitating digital asset transactions.
The regulations were published on March 13 by the National
Securities Commission, also known as CNV, under General Resolution
No. 1058.
According to a translated version of the
announcement,
the regulations impose “obligations regarding registration,
cybersecurity, asset custody, money laundering prevention, and risk
disclosure” on VASPs operating in the country.
The stated goal of the rules is to guarantee “transparency,
stability, and user protection in the crypto ecosystem,” the
announcement said.
Argentine tax lawyer Diego Fraga said the final guidelines
include mandatory separation of company and client funds, annual
audits and monthly reporting with the CNV.

Since 2024, VASPs operating in Argentina have been
required to
register with the registry of virtual asset service providers,
also known as PSAV. According to the new rules, registrations may
be revoked for noncompliance, and any company operating without
registration may be blocked by court order.
US Rep. Byron Donalds to introduce bill codifying Trump’s
Bitcoin reserve
A new bill
set to be introduced in Congress aims to formalize President
Donald Trump’s executive order establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin
Reserve, a move that could further integrate Bitcoin into the
nation’s financial strategy.
Trump signed an executive order on March 7 to use Bitcoin
(BTC) seized in
government criminal cases
to establish a national reserve.
The legislation, introduced by US Representative Byron Donalds,
seeks to ensure the Bitcoin reserve becomes a permanent fixture,
preventing future administrations from dismantling it through
executive action.

“For years, the Democrats waged war on crypto,” Donalds, a
Florida Republican, said in a statement to
Bloomberg. “Now is the time for Congressional Republicans to
decisively end this war.”
If the bill is passed, it would ensure that the Strategic
Bitcoin Reserve and the US Digital Asset Stockpile could not be
eliminated via executive actions by a future administration.
The bill will require at least 60 votes in the Senate and a
House majority to pass. With
Republicans holding a Senate majority — and amid a generally
more crypto-friendly environment — the bill has a chance of
passing.
Democrat lawmaker urges Treasury to cease Trump’s Bitcoin
reserve plans
A Democrat lawmaker has called on the US
Treasury
to “cease all attempts” to create a strategic crypto reserve in the
United States.
House Representative Gerald E. Connolly of Michigan
criticized
the “cryptocurrency reserve” in a March 13 letter to Treasury
Secretary Scott Bessent, stating that it provides “no discernible
benefit to the American people” and would instead significantly
enrich the president and his donors.

Connolly said Trump’s plans would constitute “unsound fiscal
policy” because it chooses certain cryptocurrencies over others via
social media and would also waste taxpayer dollars.
However, the White House has said that the Digital Asset
Stockpile will only hold onto cryptocurrency already forfeited. At
the same time, the Bitcoin (BTC) reserve will only make
acquisitions through budget-neutral
strategies that won’t impact taxpayers.
