- Argentine users were given 30 days to complete peso-based transactions before fiat rails are disabled on January 31, 2026.
- Crypto-to-crypto trading remains available, and Coinbase says customer funds and accounts are unaffected by the change.
- Company representatives call the move a deliberate reassessment with plans to re-enter the market, though no restart date was provided.
- Non-fiat initiatives continue, including Coinbase’s Base network presence and collaborations with local partners such as Ripio.
- The retrenchment follows a challenging year for the local crypto sector and aligns with regional pullbacks, including Bitfarms’ sale of Paraguay operations on January 2.
