Bybit Pushes for Smarter Crypto Regulation
At the heart of Regulation Day 2025 was a powerful message: crypto is not just a speculative tool but a solution for real-world economic challenges. Bybit’s Senior Director of Policy, Mykolas Majauskas, participated in the panel “Public-Private Collaboration in Crypto: VASP’s Role in Policymaking” alongside executives from 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 of Crecimiento and highlighted the growing importance of crypto service providers in shaping policy across Latin America.
Financial Inclusion on the Blockchain
Patricio Mesri, CEO of Bybit LATAM, highlighted how crypto is being used every day by regular people in Argentina and beyond. “In this part of the world, crypto is not about exclusivity, but inclusion,” said Mesri. He noted that stablecoins are now widely used for everyday expenses, marking a shift away from speculation and toward practical use.
Mesri also emphasized that digital assets are helping people access capital and affordable payment methods. “Financial inclusion is happening on-chain right here in Latin America,” he said. He believes regulatory clarity is key to driving adoption, giving both consumers and businesses the confidence to engage with digital assets.
Argentina’s Leadership in Crypto Policy
Argentina has emerged as a leader in crypto regulation in 2025, recognizing digital assets as part of broader economic reforms. This forward-thinking approach has placed the country in the spotlight as a hub for both innovation and policy development.
Between 2024 and June 2025, Argentina moved $93.9 billion in crypto transactions, ranking second only to Brazil in Latin America. This data reflects the country’s growing reliance on digital assets as a financial tool amid economic instability.
Regulation Day, now in its fourth edition, has become Argentina’s most prominent platform for discussions around tech and financial regulation. Hosted within Devconnect ARG, it brings together lawmakers, developers, and industry leaders under one roof.
Bybit’s involvement in the event underlines its broader strategy to deepen engagement with policymakers across Latin America. The exchange sees transparent collaboration as the path forward for building safe and inclusive crypto ecosystems.
CoinLaw’s Takeaway
I found this event to be a powerful reminder that Latin America, and especially Argentina, is not just experimenting with crypto, it’s already living with it. In my experience watching global crypto adoption trends, the combination of economic necessity and innovation often drives the most meaningful use cases. Bybit stepping up in these policy conversations shows they’re not just in it for the market share. They want to help shape a system that actually works for the people using it. That’s where the future of crypto lies.
