Is USDT/ARS P2P trading legal in Argentina?+
Yes. Crypto trading is legal in Argentina; CNV (Comisión Nacional de Valores) began registering VASPs in 2024 following regulatory reform. Crypto is not legal tender — payments in crypto for goods/services aren't enforceable as legal payment, but trading is unrestricted.
Why is USDT so much more expensive in ARS than the official rate?+
Argentina's central bank operates strict capital controls (cepo cambiario) limiting access to USD through official channels. USDT becomes the unregulated USD-exposure proxy, trading at 10-15% above the official BCRA rate and tracking the parallel 'blue dollar' market. The premium widens during peso weakness episodes.
Why did KuCoin pause P2P in 2024?+
KuCoin paused P2P in 2024 amid regulatory pressure across multiple jurisdictions (notably the US DOJ settlement) and a global compliance overhaul. The market reactivated in 2026 with stricter KYC, a refreshed merchant program, and full FIU-IND registration in India.
Is KuCoin P2P liquid in 2026?+
INR depth is rebuilding fast post-reactivation; USD and EUR markets are functional but not yet at top-3 liquidity levels. Treat KuCoin P2P as a secondary venue while the merchant pool re-establishes itself.
How does OpenRate get this KuCoin ARS data?+
For KuCoin we crawl their public P2P API every 60 seconds and write merchant-level ad data to our Postgres. The aggregate per-payment-method numbers above are reconciled against p2p.army's TOP1 snapshot every 30 minutes.
