Bybit pushes for smarter crypto regulation
At the heart of Regulator Day 2025 was a powerful message: crypto is not just a speculative tool but a solution for real-world economic challenges. Bybit Senior Policy Director Mykolas Majauskas participated in the panel “Public-Private Collaboration in Crypto: The Role of VASP in Policy Development” alongside the leaders of Bitso, Belo and the Ethereum Foundation.
Majauskas stressed the importance of having regulations that balance user protection and innovation, saying: “Effective regulation starts with dialogue.” He praised Argentina’s open approach, adding that adapting global standards to local realities is essential for sustainable growth.
The panel was moderated by Milagros Santamaria from Crecimiento and highlighted the growing importance of crypto service providers in policymaking across Latin America.
Financial inclusion on the blockchain
Patricio Mesri, CEO of Bybit LATAM, highlighted how crypto is used daily by ordinary citizens in Argentina and beyond. “In this part of the world, crypto is not about exclusivity, but about inclusion” said Mesri. He noted that stablecoins are now widely used for everyday spending, marking a shift from speculation to practical use.
Mesri also highlighted that digital assets help people access capital and affordable payment methods. “Financial inclusion is happening in chains right here in Latin America,“, he said. He believes regulatory clarity is key to driving adoption, giving consumers and businesses the confidence to interact with digital assets.
Argentina’s leadership in crypto policy
Argentina became a leader in crypto regulation in 2025, recognize digital assets as part of broader economic reforms. This forward-thinking approach has placed the country in the spotlight as a hub of innovation and political development.
Between 2024 and June 2025, Argentina moved $93.9 billion in crypto transactionsranking second behind Brazil in Latin America. This data reflects the country’s growing reliance on digital assets as a financial tool amid economic instability.
Regulatory Day, now in its fourth edition, has become Argentina’s most important platform for discussion on technology and financial regulation. Housed within Devconnect ARG, it brings together legislators, developers and industry leaders under one roof.
Bybit’s involvement in the event highlights its broader strategy to deepen engagement with policymakers across Latin America. The exchange sees transparent collaboration as the way forward to create secure and inclusive crypto ecosystems.
What to remember about CoinLaw
I found this event to be a powerful reminder that Latin America, and particularly Argentina, is not just experimenting with crypto, it is already living with it. In my experience observing global crypto adoption trends, the combination of economic necessity and innovation often drives the most significant use cases. The fact that Bybit is getting involved in these political conversations shows that it’s not just about market share. They want to help shape a system that actually works for the people who use it. This is where the future of crypto lies.
