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.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September
The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
