Latin America’s Ripio Launches Stablecoin Pegged to US Dollar

The Latin American cryptocurrency company Ripio has officially launched a stablecoin that is pegged to the US Dollar. Moreover, the crypto service provider’s new stablecoin is hosted on a recently introduced blockchain in the region called LaChain. 

The development was announced as a service for Argentinians that would protect assets from inflation in the country. Indeed, Ripio users based in Argentina, whose inflation is currently reaching levels of 115%, are now able to purchase the UXD Stabelcoin. Also called the Criptodolar, the company announced the product Thursday.

Moreover, in June, Ripio CEO Sebastion Serrano told Coindesk that stablecoin use in Latin America was on the rise. Subsequently, its introduction is set to help Argentinian users with immensely high inflation rates. 

“In response to the complex economic situation facing Latin America, in particular, Argentina, we have created Criptodolar: an innovative solution to help individuals combat inflation and protect their assets,” Serrano stated.
