Argentina’s largest futures market wants to be the first Latin American exchange to launch regulated Bitcoin futures. 

Local exchange Matba Rofex revealed last week that it submitted a proposal to Argentina’s securities regulator to launch Bitcoin futures in Argentine pesos. Talks, which began a few months ago, are on track, but the regulator has not yet ruled on the matter.
