As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial sector, I find the recent discussions between Argentine Vice President Victoria Villarruel and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele on Bitcoin and crypto assets quite intriguing. Having closely followed the digital currency space since its inception, it is clear that Argentina is seriously considering adopting a strategy similar to El Salvador’s, which could potentially revolutionize their financial landscape.
During his second day in Argentina, Nayib Bukele had a private Bitcoin conversation with Vice President Victoria Villarruel. On the first day, he met Argentine President Javier Milei at Casa Rosada and other officials including Martín Menem and Horacio Rosatti.

During the sit-down between Bukele and Milei, issues like energy, commerce, and defense were brought up, yet there was no subsequent press conference or formal announcement. However, the conversation between Vice President Villarruel and President Bukele delved deeper than routine diplomacy, centering significantly on Bitcoin (BTC) and its potential inclusion within national financial frameworks.
In a recently surfaced video on platform X, Vice President Villarruel mentions his eagerness to discuss Bitcoin with the president, as he finds both topics fascinating. To which, President Bukele responds positively, expressing readiness for a conversation about Bitcoin and associated subjects.

The discussions further explored the operational and legal structures essential for digital currencies. Villarruel expressed great curiosity about the CNAD’s role and its regulatory accomplishments. “I am particularly interested in your National Commission as it is the first regulatory body I am aware of that has been established specifically for this purpose,” she stated during her encounter with El Salvador’s President Bukele.
Later on her social media, she expressed excitement to delve deeper into El Salvador’s approach to Bitcoin and crypto asset management. In X, Villarruel shared that they had discussed the adoption of Bitcoin, as well as the establishment of the CNAD (National Commission of Digital Assets), which is a pioneering institution offering a legal structure for cryptocurrencies, during a meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele at the Argentine Senate.
In May this past spring, a group that included Argentina’s Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich and key figures from the Argentine National Securities Commission (CNV) paid a visit to El Salvador. During their trip, they held talks with Juan Carlos Reyes, President of El Salvador’s National Commission on Digital Assets (CNAD), about the intricacies involved in handling digital assets on a national scale.
Roberto E. Silva, President of the CNV, mentioned that they aim to deepen relationships with the Republic of El Salvador. To achieve this, they plan to investigate potential partnership deals with them in these conversations.
