More Argentinians turn to Bitcoin amid inflation fears
Since 2016, Argentina has been struggling with an inflation crisis due to a number of factors, including: Lack of confidence in the central bank, government spending and the devaluation of the peso.
All these factors led to the disappearance of Argentine savings, so many Argentines began to turn to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to fight inflation despite the fact that the crypto market has been experiencing a downturn for several months.
Reuters reports that crypto penetration rates in Argentina have increased by 12%.
Besides Bitcoin, more and more Argentines are turning to Stablecoin as a store of value instead of the US dollar. Especially since their country has strict capital restriction rules for foreign exchange services.
