TSMC (TSM) is tradable as a perpetual from Argentina: the legal status, working funding rails and the practical route are below.
Nothing prohibits an individual from buying, holding or selling crypto. What Argentina does bar is the banking system's involvement: BCRA Comunicacion 'A' 7506 of 5 May 2022 tells financial entities they may neither carry out nor facilitate for their clients operations in digital assets - expressly including crypto-assets and instruments whose returns are determined by the movements of those assets - unless authorised by a competent national regulator or by the BCRA itself.
That wording reaches beyond spot: an instrument whose return tracks a crypto price is exactly a perpetual or a CFD, so an Argentine bank cannot route or facilitate that exposure for a customer. It does not, on its own, settle what a non-bank venue may offer Argentine retail clients, and the CNV's rule on leveraged crypto derivatives for retail clients is an open question.
A perpetual on TSM tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
