Did you know that Venezuela already had a cryptocurrency inspired by the arepa long before the stablecoin boom and P2P?
Its name was Arepacoin ($AREPA).
And its story is much more curious than it seems.
We’re not talking about a token created yesterday or a recent trend.
We’re talking about a project born on September 25, 2016, at a time when the Venezuelan crypto ecosystem was still taking its first steps.
🫓 How did AREPA come to be?
Arepacoin took its identity from one of Venezuela’s most recognizable symbols: the arepa.
