The Latam Digital Assets Conf will take place Aug. 20-21, bringing together banks, fintechs, regulators and investors to discuss stablecoins, tokenization and digital finance regulation across Latin America.

The event arrives as major financial institutions deepen their push into digital assets. JPMorgan launched its own institutional digital currency in late 2025, BlackRock’s tokenized fund has surpassed $2 billion in assets, and the DTCC has launched a tokenization service with dozens of financial firms.

Stablecoins already account for more than 60% of crypto activity in Argentina, and six in ten new corporate clients onboarded by Bitso Business in 2026 were banks or traditional financial institutions. A recent study by EY and Taquion found that one in two Argentines want traditional banks to offer digital asset services. Argentina’s regulatory framework has kept pace: Decree 475/2026 aligned crypto tax treatment with other financial activity, and the National Securities Commission (CNV) now oversees a registry of virtual asset service providers and a growing tokenization regime.

The two-day conference will cover digital asset regulation, stablecoins, payments, tokenization and institutional decentralized finance through panels and public-private working sessions.

“Latin America is crossing a threshold. Our institutions are no longer debating whether to enter the onchain ecosystem, they’re building the future of finance, and Argentina holds a privileged place in that movement,” said Santiago Cristóbal, Managing Director of Crecimiento.

Confirmed speakers include congress member Martín Yeza; Buenos Aires city legislator Darío Nieto; Pablo Moauro (ADEBA); Gonzalo Pascual Merlo (BYMA Digital); Rafael Soto (MODO); Gastón Irigoyen (Pomelo); Manuel Beaudroit (belo); Julián Colombo (Bitso); Rafael D’Ambrosi (Twin); Eduardo Novillo Astrada (Agrotoken); Borja Martel (Roxom); Sarina Gowland (Fireblocks); Kyle Rojas (Ethereum Foundation) and Hanna Schiuma (Lucero), among others. The full lineup is announced on our official event website.
