According to @PANewsCN, Latin American exchange Ripio launched wARS, an Argentine peso–pegged stablecoin deployed on Ethereum, Coinbase’s Base, and World Chain to enable global transfers without banks or USD conversion (source: @PANewsCN). The launch coincides with Argentina’s inflation declining from 292% in April last year to 31.8% currently (source: @PANewsCN). Ripio plans to issue additional stablecoins pegged to other Latin American currencies to expand local-currency cross-border payments (source: @PANewsCN). Stablecoins have become important value-storage tools in high-inflation markets such as Argentina and Brazil (source: @PANewsCN). The wARS rollout follows Ripio’s prior tokenization of sovereign bonds, aiming to integrate fiat and securities on-chain to broaden blockchain use cases (source: @PANewsCN).
