The 21st-Century Time Deposit: Nexo Redefines Digital Dollar Savings
Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 5th, 2026, Chainwire
Nexo introduces a high-yield alternative designed to outperform traditional instruments such as fixed-term deposits and mutual funds.
Nexo, the global digital asset wealth platform with more than USD 8 billion in assets under management, has officially launched in Argentina following its acquisition of Buenbit and the establishment of its regional hub in Buenos Aires.
With this expansion, Nexo introduces a new digital dollar savings alternative tailored for individuals seeking to optimize returns on hard currency holdings without sacrificing security, liquidity, or control over their funds.
In Argentina’s current economic landscape, the financial conversation is evolving: it is no longer just about preserving U.S. dollars, but about putting them to work. As the industry evolves, more Argentinians are finding a practical pathway for capital — historically held outside the traditional system — to begin generating yield.
Nexo’s value proposition addresses precisely this shift: higher returns, streamlined processes, and a frictionless user experience. Through stablecoins — digital assets designed to be pegged to the U.S. dollar — users can earn daily interest without complex structures. Assets such as USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) are among the most widely used stablecoins globally. Through Nexo, users can earn up to 13% annual interest on USD-based stablecoins, significantly outperforming traditional instruments such as time deposits or mutual funds, which in the local market typically offer between approximately 0.5% and 8% annually — combining liquidity, predictability, and growth potential.
The platform also introduces crypto-backed credit to the Argentine market. This enables users holding digital assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum to use them as collateral to access immediate liquidity without selling their positions or losing long-term exposure. Nexo is currently the world’s second-largest crypto lender, behind only Tether, the issuer of USDT.
“Argentina is a sophisticated market with high digital adoption and a strong culture of saving in hard currency,” said Federico Ogue, CEO of Buenbit by Nexo. “Our proposal is to combine that reality with global infrastructure, prudent risk management, and products designed to generate long-term value. Today, technology enables people to save in hard currency, earn yield, and access liquidity — complementing traditional financial alternatives.”
As part of its exclusive Argentina launch, Nexo will offer a limited-time welcome incentive: users who top up the equivalent of USD 1,000 or more within the first seven days of registration will automatically receive Nexo Platinum status — the highest tier of its loyalty program — for one month.
Nexo combines its global infrastructure and operational strength with the local expertise and market knowledge of CNV-licensed Buenbit. From its Buenos Aires hub, the company plans to accelerate growth across Latin America at a time when credit activity is gradually recovering but remains below historical levels, and Argentinians are actively seeking more efficient ways to save and manage their capital.
With this launch, Nexo aims to reshape how Argentinians approach saving and borrowing in hard currency during a new phase of macroeconomic stabilization. The company also announced its formal return to the United States market in 2026 in collaboration with regulated partners and in full compliance with local investment and lending frameworks.
