Tether to Deal Argentina’s Inflation Rate
In the last couple of months, the inflation rate of Argentina has reached an all-time high of 104%. Both customers and businesses are affected because of such a high inflation rate and have to face an almost 8% inflation rate on a monthly basis in their local currency. Amid such inflation in Argentina, watchdogs of the states opted for an alternate solution to cope with the prevailing situation.

To keep such a scenario in sight, tether has partnered with KrpitonMarket to produce ultimate opportunities for smaller businesses. Tether and KriptonMarket partnership aims to enable 900 wholesale merchants and 50 retail merchants at the Central Market to potentially accept USD₮ as a form of payment. Moreover, USD₮ would also be used to pay bills, to purchase and even to pay salaries. However, the main concern of this partnership was to cope with the inflation rate and to facilitate customers to deal in digital currency. Further, this collaboration would ultimately help small businesses to use Tether’s stablecoin to reduce cost and price and manage finance.
Objectives of the Partnership
Paolo Ardoino, CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of Tether shared that the objective of the collaboration is to put owners of shops and businesses at ease regarding payments. He was of the view if bringing tether to smaller enterprises could work then they would be able to implement the same strategies at the global level.
It is observed that the local currency of Argentina is devaluating day by day and it is the need of the hour to get financial freedom. So Paolo said that If this collaboration contributes optimistically to Argentina’s finance, their concerns will be fulfilled by assisting the state’s finance with digital currency.
