Buenbit, registered with Argentina’s Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV), has become a key player in the region’s crypto adoption, offering fiat-to-crypto services in markets where inflation and currency controls are routine. The Nexo deal folds that local experience into its larger infrastructure that spans more than 150 jurisdictions and manages $11 billion in assets.
For Buenbit customers, the shift means access to a broader range of services. These include crypto-backed loans that serve as an alternative to limited traditional credit in places like Argentina, high-yield savings accounts and trading tools.
Buenos Aires will serve as Nexo’s Latin American headquarters, anchoring its planned growth into Mexico and Peru. The firm said the deal is part of a multiyear strategy to develop long-term investments and partnerships across the region.
The move comes as Argentina’s central bank drafts new rules to allow banks to offer customers cryptocurrency-related services in the first half of next year. Regulatory approval is still pending.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason
The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28.

Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…
