The cryptocurrency exchange emphasized that crypto-to-crypto trading will continue while giving customers a 30-day window to convert and withdraw their pesos. Coinbase notified Argentine users on December 31, 2025, that it will stop peso-to-USDC trading operations effective January 31, 2026, marking an abrupt exit from local currency services barely one year after launching operations in the country. The move affects only buying and selling USDC with Argentine pesos; users will retain full access to send, receive, and trade cryptocurrencies across different digital assets.
Coinbase described it as a “deliberate pause” rather than a permanent market exit. Coinbase entered Argentina on January 28, 2025, after receiving Virtual Asset Service Provider registration from Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV).
