Coinbase told users the move follows an internal review of performance and long‑term viability of its Argentina product, framing it as a deliberate pause rather than a permanent exit.
“At Coinbase we are continuously reevaluating the products we offer to ensure the most efficient experience possible for our community,” said Coinbase in an email to users.
The pause lands as Argentina’s central bank considers rules that would let traditional banks offer crypto trading and custody.
