Tax Reporting

No comprehensive list or test is specified in recent resolutions like CNV General Resolution 1125/2026, which defines virtual assets as "any digital representation of value that can be traded and/or transferred digitally and used for payments or investments," encompassing cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and stablecoins—but this is for qualified investor net worth calculations, not security classification.. Security tokens may qualify as securities similar to other marketable instruments.. General references suggest ICO tokens could be securities if they meet the definition of "standardised certificated or..." (incomplete in sources), requiring authorization for trading.. VASPs (including those dealing in tokens) must register with the CNV under Law 27,739 to operate legally, with requirements including operational structure details, KYC/AML compliance (e.g., identifying officers), cybersecurity certification, and CNV AML/CFT review; unregistered VASPs cannot operate.. No specific exemptions or issuer registration for tokens-as-securities are detailed; crypto licensing types remain underdeveloped.
