One of the crypto exchange giant’s top-performing markets is Argentina, a country with an annual inflation rate of 71% as of July this year. Brazil and Mexico are also among Binance’s biggest markets. He says, this phenom is happening despite the lack of clear regulations for crypto assets across the region. *“Regulation is a framework, but it’s not always negative that something isn’t regulated. If something isn’t banned, then it’s legal.”* Earlier this month, Binance and Mastercard teamed up to [launch](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/binance-and-mastercard-launch-prepaid-card-in-argentina-to-bridge-cryptocurrencies-and-everyday-purchases-301599811.html) a crypto card in Argentina that aims to bridge the gap between digital assets and everyday life purchases, such as goods, services and bills.

This cycle repeats itself to varying degrees but is fairly accurate in representing the shift between market sentiments of euphoria and pessimism, and an acknowledgment of this natural phenomenon is Key to profiting from any traded instrument, including Bitcoin.
