BYMA said Thursday it agreed to pay USD9.5 million for 70% of Quantex, an Argentine fintech that runs wholesale international fixed-income trading platforms.

The deal values the Córdoba-based company at USD9.5 million and sits within BYMA’s push to expand internationally and upgrade its capital-market infrastructure. BYMA sits 4.8% above Wednesday’s close of 2,780.50 pesos per American depository receipt.

Quantex started inside BYMA Ventures in 2018 and built its own technology to serve Argentine and regional institutional bond markets. The platform now connects to BYMA’s ecosystem and global counterparties, handling fixed-income instruments across markets.

BYMA said the acquisition will widen its operating capacity, speed new product development and deepen links with overseas participants. The agreement comes as Argentina sees stronger demand for local assets and a need for modern wholesale trading tools.

Marco Dibo and Federico Bollo, Quantex’s founders, will retain the remaining stake. The purchase price matches Quantex’s most recent disclosed valuation, according to BYMA.

BYMA expects the transaction to close within one quarter, subject to regulatory approvals. Analysts will watch for signs that Quantex’s technology lifts liquidity and efficiency in Argentina’s fixed-income segment.
