Inflation peaked at 289 % YoY in April 2024; capital-controls and a $200-per-month FX quota still keep most citizens from accessing physical dollars.
Stable-coin penetration is 61.8 % of all crypto volume (vs 44 % global average); 31 % of sub-$1 000 retail transfers now settle in USDT/USDC, the highest ratio in Latam after Venezuela .
18.9 % of adults hold crypto (≈ 8.6 m people); Coinbase estimates 5 m Argentines touch digital assets daily .
US$91 bn on-chain value moved between July-2023 and June-2024, ranking Argentina 13th worldwide—ahead of Spain or Australia .
Local platforms such as Lemon or Ripio see > 60 % of deposits kept in stable-coins; Bitget’s country manager calls Argentina “the market where people buy USDT and never look back” .
115 k professional developers (≈ 27 k new grads yearly); Solidity, Rust, Anchor routinely taught at universities and high-school bootcamps.
> 40 Web3 start-ups span infra (Hardhat, OpenZeppelin), exchanges (Lemon, Ripio, Belo) and DeFi (Exactly, Kpk) .
Ualá (neobank with crypto rails) closed the largest LatAm fintech round ever: US$300 m Series E.
Lemon raised US$20 m Series B (F-Prime, ParaFi); Ripio > US$50 m lifetime, DCG-led; Kpk US$7 m 2024 seed .
With Devconnect taking over Buenos Aires in November 2025, the city is poised to become the LatAm gateway for builders, policy-makers and investors. The event is expected to funnel thousands of global developers into direct collaboration with local communities such as Ethereum-Argentina, Crecimiento, Mujeres en Crypto and SEED Org .
Argentina is no longer an “emerging market case-study”—it is a live, production-grade sandbox where crypto is daily survival infrastructure. If a protocol, wallet or stable-coin product works here—under 50 % inflation, FX rationing and a skeptical banking sector—it will probably work anywhere.

How can Solana, which almost died, make a comeback?（part1）
In 2022, as the popularity of SBF and FTX platforms soared, Solana also became a hot public chain in the crypto industry, but then the collapse of FTX almost brought down the entire Solana ecosystem.

Subsequently, some well-known projects migrated from Solana to other chains. However, a year later, as shown in the fi...

From Bitcoin to the Machine Economy: How OpenMind Is Building a Sovereign Robot Stack
Money as Order, Bitcoin as Energy Router Money is civilization’s most distributed database—an ordering protocol that lets us trade entropy for coherence. Bitcoin extended that idea into the physical world: it turned surplus watts anywhere into immutable ledger entries everywhere. The next leap is to let machines themselves run that arbitrage 24/7—swapping compute cycles, sensor data, battery power and physical labor without human accountants.
