Nexo Expands to Argentina to Redefine Digital Dollar Savings

Digital asset platform Nexo officially launches in Argentina following its acquisition of Buenbit to offer high-yield savings and crypto-backed credit.

Global digital asset wealth platform Nexo established its regional hub in Buenos Aires on March 5, 2026. The expansion introduces a digital dollar savings alternative allowing local users to earn up to 13% annual interest on stablecoins like USDT and USDC.

The platform also debuts crypto-backed credit in the Argentine market, enabling bitcoin and ethereum holders to access liquidity without selling their positions. These services outperform traditional local instruments such as fixed-term deposits and mutual funds, which typically offer returns between 0.5% and 8% annually.

“Today, technology enables people to save in hard currency, earn yield, and access liquidity — complementing traditional financial alternatives,” said Federico Ogue, CEO of Buenbit by Nexo.
