Map of real presence and integration in Argentina
Argentina is one of the countries with the highest crypto adoption per capita in Latin America.
In Argentina, 90% of real adoption is driven by the need for coverage against inflation and devaluation (stablecoins like USDT and USDC).
XLM (Stellar) has the greatest real operational impact. It is the utility network with the highest traction for everyday use in the country.
The Stellar network supports the Vibrant ecosystem (an app developed with direct support from the SDF for high-inflation markets like Argentina) and integrates with MoneyGram. This allows users to deposit or withdraw dollars/pesos in cash at physical branches using USDC on Stellar, bypassing the high fees of international transfers.
Use cases: Wallets like Ripio have used the Stellar network to move digital dollars and issue stable balance tokens thanks to their extremely low network costs and speed. Processing transfers and withdrawals on networks like Ethereum or Bitcoin is impractical for micropayments or everyday transfers due to gas fees.
By integrating the Stellar network, local companies can perform arbitrage and interconnect balances between platforms in a way that is invisible to the user.
The end user does not need to understand what XLM is; they simply see that their funds arrived immediately and without deductions for network fees.
