Promote with Leviathan NewsArgentina’s foreign minister, Diana Mondino, said in December 2023 that contracts in Argentina can be ‘agreed’ in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, framing the move as part of broader economic deregulation under President Javier Milei’s administration. She referenced ‘Article 766,’ which says a debtor must deliver the designated amount of currency whether or not it is legal tender, but the reporting notes she did not specify the legal document she was citing. Other coverage described her comment as an interpretation of Milei’s sweeping decree on contract freedom rather than a standalone crypto law, with the decree reportedly allowing contracts in any currency and also mentioning in-kind payments such as milk or beef.
