For the first time, Argentine Justice has blocked a crypto platform for refusing to provide information in a fraud case.

Connections with RainbowEx and the warning that other firms could be under scrutiny.

Through a request made by the specialized cybercrime prosecution of San Isidro, Argentine Justice ordered for the first time to block access to a cryptocurrency exchange at the national level, as a reprisal for the company's refusal to provide information about the owner of a virtual wallet that was being investigated for a fraud case.

This concerns the exchange HTX, of Chinese origin and based in Seychelles, which operates globally and is one of the major players within the ecosystem. It is the first time that a platform of this type has been blocked in Argentina, in a measure aimed at increasing pressure on companies in the sector to cooperate with Justice when it comes to revealing data about individuals being investigated for using crypto tools in criminal modalities.
