REGULATORY
AREA
At Crecimiento, we believe that crypto and AI regulation is not a barrier but a tool for enabling innovation, adoption, and long-term impact. That’s why we work alongside public and private actors to design frameworks that empower startups, protect users and investors, and bring clarity to those building Argentina’s crypto future.
In a country with massive crypto adoption and still fertile regulatory frameworks with open dialogue regulators, Argentina has a unique opportunity to lead. With the right rules, we can unlock local innovation, attract global talent, and provide long-term stability for builders, investors, and institutions alike.
STRATEGIC
PILLARS
REGULATORY SANDBOX
The Regulatory Sandbox is proposal developed and delivered in Q4 2024 in collaboration with the Fintech Chamber (CAF). It aims to create a safe, controlled environment where startups can test innovative products, especially around the tokenization of real-world assets, under flexible regulatory conditions.
The sandbox promotes early engagement with regulators (CNV, BCRA, UIF, SSN) by special licenses and regulatory exemptions and supports the creation of evidence-based rules grounded in real use cases.
In practice, this means startups gain clarity and legal breathing room to innovate. Regulators benefit from firsthand insights, reducing risk and informing better regulation. The broader ecosystem wins with a transparent, collaborative space that lowers the cost of innovation and builds institutional trust.
DIGITAL SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE
The DSEZ is a long-term legal and institutional project to create a digital zone in Argentina. It combines tax incentives, simplified compliance, and digital infrastructure to attract startups, capital, and talent - while also retaining local talent. Inspired by models like RAK DAO and Estonia’s e-Residency, it is designed for the broader tech ecosystem and specifically tailored to the Web3 ecosystem, aligned with Argentina’s problem-to-use-case economic framework.
This initiative responds to a structural challenge. Many builders in Argentina face a paradox: they’re building global tech with local barriers. The DSEZ offers a clean-slate legal framework that removes friction and aligns policies with the realities of the Web3 economy. This allows startups to register, raise capital, and operate more efficiently under clear and favorable rules, enabling long-term planning, reinvestment, and scalable innovation.
Argentina has the potential to position itself as a global hub for Web3 innovation—creating jobs, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), exporting knowledge, and generating institutional credibility. The DSEZ also provides a path to formalization for Web3 actors currently operating in legal grey areas.
REGULATION DAY & PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Regulation Day is Crecimiento’s flagship space for policy collaboration. Held during Aleph Pop-Up Cities, it brings together regulators, legal experts, founders, investors, and public officials for high-level discussions and working sessions. It’s complemented by ongoing roundtables, technical working groups, and bilateral meetings to advance concrete policy design.
Thanks to these spaces, institutional relationships grow stronger, public awareness increases, and alignment accelerates on issues like taxation, identity, and infrastructure.
