Crypto Industry News:

Following the recent imposition of limits on purchases in US dollars, the Central Bank of Argentina (BCA) announced that citizens are forbidden to use credit cards to buy Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies.

The messages were published in a communication covering several industries in which the use of credit cards has been restricted or banned. The section about cryptocurrency reads:

"Purchasing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies: It is forbidden to buy BTC using this payment method. The only remaining alternative to this investment is to do it with money transferred from a bank account."

It is unclear whether the rules apply only to credit cards or whether they include debit and prepaid cards.

BCA claims that these measures are key to maintaining the country's foreign reserves. According to experts, the central bank intends to block the entry of dollars into the country, trying to have stronger control.

This is due to BCA's move earlier this week, where the amount of US dollars that Argentine citizens could buy every month was limited. The maximum amount has been reduced from $ 10,000 to just $ 200.

When the wave 2 corrective cycles are completed, the market might will ready for another impulsive wave up of a higher degree and uptrend continuation.
