Bybit Highlights LatAm Crypto Rules At Regulation Day 2025

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit participated in Regulation Day 2025, an event held at Devconnect ARG in Argentina focused on digital asset regulation and policy development in Latin America, according to a company statement.

The event, organized by Crecimiento, took place during Devconnect ARG in Buenos Aires, described as the first Ethereum World’s Fair. The conference featured more than 75 projects across 40 events, according to organizers.

The fourth edition of Regulation Day drew approximately 1,500 attendees, including regulators, legislators, and private sector representatives who addressed issues related to virtual assets and artificial intelligence, according to event organizers.

Patricio Mesri, CEO of Bybit LATAM, and Mykolas Majauskas, Senior Director of Policy at Bybit, participated in discussions on digital asset regulation. Majauskas spoke on a panel titled “Public-Private Collaboration in Crypto: VASP’s Role in Policymaking” alongside Manuel Beaudroit, Co-founder and CEO of Belo, Julián Colombo, Senior Director (South America) of Bitso, and Connor Spelliscy, Head of Global Policy Strategy at the Ethereum Foundation. Milagros Santamaria of Crecimiento moderated the session.

“In Latin America, crypto is not theory — it’s a tool people rely on every day. Regulation that protects users while enabling innovation is what will unlock the full potential of digital assets for the real economy,” Majauskas stated during the event. “Argentina’s openness to engage with industry, learn from global standards, and adapt frameworks to local realities is exactly what drives healthy and sustainable growth in this sector,” he added.

Argentina has implemented policy measures recognizing cryptocurrency as a digital asset as part of broader economic reforms in 2025, according to government sources. The country processed $93.9 billion in cryptocurrency transaction volume between 2024 and June 2025, ranking second in the Latin American market behind Brazil, according to available data.

“In this part of the world, crypto is not about exclusivity, but inclusion. More and more people are moving past speculation and using stablecoins for daily life,” Mesri stated. “Digital assets are changing real life and touching real people in Argentina and beyond. From access to capital to affordable payment methods, financial inclusion is happening on-chain right here in Latin America,” he said.

Mesri also noted that regulatory frameworks provide stability for market participants. “Clear frameworks give both consumers and businesses the confidence to engage with digital assets, and that’s what will drive mainstream adoption,” he stated.

Regulation Day has established itself as a forum for technology policy discussions in Argentina, according to organizers. The event aims to facilitate dialogue between government entities and technology industry representatives on regulatory approaches to emerging technologies.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Senate Banking Committee is gearing up for a December vote on comprehensive legislation to reform the cryptocurrency market structure.
