Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner waves to supporters from a balcony after a ceremony the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace in Buenos Aires May 4, 2015.
A U.S. court decision on Monday stated that the creditors, made up of mostly hedge funds, cannot seize the assets from the country's central bank, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The decision, handed down from the 2nd Circuit, reverses a June New York district court ruling that would've opened up Argentina's reserves to claims from the funds.
The creditors hold claims of $2.4 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal report.
The creditors have failed numerous times to collect the debt - a fraction of the $80 billion in debt the country defaulted on in 2001.
The ruling is significant as a 2014 Supreme Court decision that sent Argentina into default also gave the country's creditors the right to discover its assets all over the world. This most recent ruling is a check on that ability.
