USDТ + Argentina, is It a Future?


Argentina made headlines after the election. New charismatic president during the pre-election campaign promised to carry out radical and controversial reforms. Among the proposals are: liquidation of the Central Bank, renunciation of the national currency and transition to the American dollar.


At first glance, everything sounds too revolutionary to be true. Indeed, dismantling the Central Bank would require international coordination, as Argentina was too dependent on international financial institutions. However, the experiment with the transition to the dollar may well take place. Moreover, it is already underway, and is going quite successfully.





Right now you can pay with USDT stablecoins In the central market of Buenos Aires. Most traders are willing to accept them. And it’s not just a private initiative, but a joint project between Tether and the KriptonMarket platform to tokenize the farm market. The fact that traders easily accepted crypto is not surprising, to pay the national currency peso is uncomfortable and even risky with inflation of 150%. Stablecoin is guaranteed to be tamper-proof, technological and usable.


I’m not ruling out the possibility that by switching to the dollar, we’re talking about using stablecoins. From a financial point of view, the cash dollar is equivalent to the USDT. However, there are technological, political and legal risks involved.


Is the independent state willing to entrust the financial infrastructure to a private company? What happens if there are power and Internet outages? How will the required emissions be determined?


Most likely, if the "financial transition" takes place, we will see a combination of stablecoin (most likely USDT) and cash dollar. If all goes well, such a scheme may well replicate, and the dollar will get a second wind.


I will follow with interest the news from Argentina, one of the options of the financial infrastructure of the future is working out now there.

Crypto Exchanges vs SEC Litigation between US Securities and Exchange Commission and major crypto exchanges is ongoing.  The SEC, following the position of its head Gary Gensler, accuses Coinbase, Binance and Kraken of illegal work as unlicensed securities trading activities. So far, illegal trading in securities is the commission’s favorite accusation. Usually, it classified cryptocurrency to securities without any special checks and expertise. If there is cryptocurrency, then it is a security. The exception is Bitcoin, but it is a dubious asset that suspicious people use for dark causes. However, Ripple managed to prove in court that at least monets traded on the stock exchange cannot be considered cryptocurrencies. And then there is the decision of the futures commission that defined Ethereum as commodities. In the current situation, a court ruling in favor of the SEC would mean an additional control circuit over the crypto business.  In fact, crypto exchanges fight for the right to

Tether leaves the crypto community When we talk about cryptocurrencies, we imagine something independent, free from traditional finance. This is true, but only for certain cryptocurrencies that are fully decentralized. A fine example is Bitcoin. This is really a classic cryptocurrency, almost independent from the intervention of third parties, including developers. Indeed, the impossibility of such interference was embedded in the original ideas of Satoshi Nakamoto. That was the main ideological principle, and the blockchain helped put it into practice. We now see that principle being violated. CEO of Tether (USDT) Paolo Ardoino stated that he aims to become a world-class partner of the US to help "expand US$ hegemony". As a real "help", Tether froze $435M in user wallets at the request of American law enforcement.  Tether stated that it considered such a policy a sign of foresight and vigilance. In fact, this is an excellent example of short-sighted politics. The c

Who Owns the Mr. 100 Cryptowallet and What Does Upbit Have to Do With it?  Over the past two months, I've been keeping a close eye on the unusual activity of one Bitcoin wallet nicknamed "Mr. 100." This wallet regularly received deposits of exactly 100 BTC every few days, which led to certain thoughts. Upon deeper analysis, I noticed natural connections between this address and the well-known wallets of the large South Korean exchange Upbit. Having studied the transactions, I came to the conclusion that the so-called “Mr. 100” is highly likely to be a cold wallet of this exchange. The wallet in question , identified by the address "1Ay8v" with a balance of 52,996.88 BTC, has attracted the attention of other crypto enthusiasts. Debate about its origins has reignited on social media, sparking speculation about the identity of its owner, including rumors of a connection to a Qatari billionaire. The key observations that led me to make this assumption were the follo
