就在几天前，阿根廷市值最大的两家私人银行 Banco Galicia 和 Burbank SAU 宣布允许其客户购买加密货币（比特币、以太坊等）。

在国际货币基金组织批准了 450 亿美元的贷款后，该国决定不鼓励使用加密货币。
随着通货膨胀率创下 20 年来的新高，该国对数字资产采取强硬立场。
禁止加密货币的目的是降低风险并保护其经济体系，因为该国本质上认为加密资产是无需信任和无需许可的。根据 BCRA 声明：
BCRA 董事会下令采取的措施旨在减轻与这些资产的运营相关的风险，这些风险可能会为金融服务用户和整个金融系统产生。
此举是在国际货币基金组织表示将给予该国一个450亿美元的贷款.
该协议要求该国不鼓励使用加密货币，以保护其金融部门。这意向书概述了阿根廷对与国际货币基金组织达成的协议的承诺，其中指出：
为了进一步维护金融稳定，我们正在采取重要步骤 (i) 阻止使用加密货币，以防止洗钱、非正规性和非中介化，”以增强国家的金融弹性。
该机构（BCRA）表示，比特币和其他加密货币可能被犯罪分子用于洗钱和恐怖融资。此外，由于它们被认为无法追踪，因此他们（罪犯或不良行为者）可以将它们广泛用于毒品交易、武器融资、卖淫等。
然而，区块链分析公司 Chainalysis，报告洗钱仅占 2021 年所有加密货币交易量的 0.05%。这意味着自 2017 年以来已洗钱 330 亿美元。相比之下，联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室估计每年使用 8000 亿至 2 万亿美元洗钱法定货币，约占全球 GDP 的 5%。

通过这一禁止加密服务的大胆举措，阿根廷政府试图阻止其公民将资金存放在比特币、以太坊和稳定币等加密资产中，因为他们发现数字资产对其国家的经济体系构成威胁。
