BYMA Acquires 70% Stake in Argentine Fintech Quantex for USD9.5 Million

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — BYMA, Argentina’s leading capital market infrastructure provider, has agreed to acquire a 70% stake in Quantex, an Argentine fintech specializing in wholesale international fixed-income trading platforms, for USD9.5 million.

The deal values Quantex at USD13.57 million and aligns with BYMA’s long-term strategy to strengthen its global positioning and enhance its role as a capital market infrastructure provider amid Argentina’s increasing financial integration with global markets.

Quantex, founded in Córdoba, began as a startup within BYMA Ventures, the exchange’s corporate venture capital fund, which was among its early investors. Over time, Quantex developed its own technology and commercial operations, becoming a key player in institutional fixed-income trading in Argentina and the broader region.

Details not yet available on the immediate impact on Malaysian markets, though BYMA’s expansion into fintech solutions may signal growing cross-border financial technology collaboration.

The acquisition will expand BYMA’s operational capabilities, support the development of new solutions, and deepen integration with international counterparts. In a market environment marked by rising interest in local assets and demand for wholesale trading platforms, Quantex’s platform—already integrated with BYMA’s ecosystem and international counterparties—positions the exchange to meet evolving needs.

BYMA emphasized the deal as part of its commitment to advancing capital market standards, supporting financial system participants, and fostering regional growth. Quantex was co-founded by Marco Dibo and Federico Bollo and reflects BYMA Ventures’ strategy of nurturing high-potential projects with strategic market value.

Details not yet available on future integration plans or regulatory approvals.
