## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Argentina's central bank rules out crypto at banks this year but opens the door for a second Milei term (2026-10-12): Juan Curutchet, the Argentine central bank director in charge of bank supervision, ruled out crypto services at banks this year. He cited 'a level of fragility' in the currency market and linked bank crypto access to the end of exchange controls after the 2027 election. A named regulator has now tied bank crypto access explicitly to currency stability and the election result, which is the thesis's mechanism.
