Argentina is moving towards introducing a regulatory framework that will allow banks to offer crypto asset services, including trading and storing approved cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, and XRP.

So, of course, I was critical, because that was my campaign promise,” Greene said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.” “If we settle everything here, we’ll be fine. We’ll tell the rest…
