Argentine crypto influencers hope Javier Milei will shun FATF Travel Rule
The Argentine president, inaugurated on Dec. 10, has promised to disband the Central Bank but hasn’t made any official commitment to introduce Bitcoin-friendly legislation.
After libertarian Javier Milei was sworn into the presidential office in Argentina on Dec. 10, the local crypto community is hoping he’ll keep some of his most radical promises and take the country to the same level of crypto adoption as his counterpart Nayib Bukele did with El Salvador.
On the day of his inauguration, Latin American outlet Cryptonoticias published “three requests to Milei from the Bitcoin community.” The vice president of the NGO Bitcoin Argentina, Camilo Jorajuría, called for Milei to respect the privacy of his people and not introduce the “draconian measures” of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
