Buenbit, registered with Argentina’s Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV), has become a key player in the region’s crypto adoption, offering fiat-to-crypto services in markets where inflation and currency controls are routine. The Nexo deal folds that local experience into its larger infrastructure that spans more than 150 jurisdictions and manages $11 billion in assets.
For Buenbit customers, the shift means access to a broader range of services. These include crypto-backed loans that serve as an alternative to limited traditional credit in places like Argentina, high-yield savings accounts and trading tools.
Buenos Aires will serve as Nexo’s Latin American headquarters, anchoring its planned growth into Mexico and Peru. The firm said the deal is part of a multiyear strategy to develop long-term investments and partnerships across the region.
The move comes as Argentina’s central bank drafts new rules to allow banks to offer customers cryptocurrency-related services in the first half of next year. Regulatory approval is still pending.

BitMine's massive $11 billion investment in Ethereum has raised eyebrows in the crypto world. As the market eagerly awaits the next bull run, this bold move has sparked debates and curiosity. Is it a clever strategy or a high-stakes risk? Explore which coins are poised for growth in this fluctuating landscape. Ethereum Poised for Growth Amid Steady Movement Source: tradingview Ethereum's price is steady, moving between approximately $4335 and $4825. The crypto giant is showing promise, with a week's growth of over four percent. This follows a half-year surge of nearly 127 percent.

The market indicators point to a balanced phase, meaning Ethereum might be setting the stage for further growth. Keep an eye on those key levels! Conclusion BitMine’s move has sparked debate. If ETH rises, the valuation could be substantial. However, market trends can change quickly. Timing and strategy will be key. BitMine’s decision shows confidence in ETH, but only time will tell if it pays off. The sector awaits the next market movement with interest.
