🚨IF YOU ARE ARGENTINE, YOUR BANK THAT HAS BEEN WITH YOU FOREVER IS GOING TO START OFFERING YOU BITCOIN:
The BCRA is evaluating allowing traditional banks (GALICIA, SANTANDER, BANCO NACIÓN) to sell and custody crypto directly from online banking.
What changes for the average crypto user?
You will be able to buy and stablecoins without downloading another app.
For frequent crypto users, nothing changes, but this means greater crypto exposure for new users; Banco Nación alone has +20m users vs wallets like LEMON with 5m.
What doesn't change?
The fact that your BANK sells it to you does not make it "SAFE"; you still depend on a financial institution and do not have your private keys or self-custody.
Why is it important that this is being developed in #Argentina?
On average, Argentina uses crypto 6 times more daily than the Latin American average (according to official data), which is why it is important to deepen development in this area, especially since there is a lot of flow toward crypto dollars in this country.
