Guess the country:→ 105% average annual inflation, every year since 1944 → Capital controls capping USD purchases at $200/month → Informal FX market trading at up to 2x the official rate → A population that turned to crypto to protect its savingsIf you guessed 🇦🇷 Argentina 🇦🇷 you're right.What came next: a generation of builders who kept working without a legal framework, and a government that chose to formalize what they built instead of restricting it.Our new report with Crecimiento traces how that combination produced 8.6M crypto users and $91B in annual volume, the highest per capita in Latin America. Sponsored by Nexo.🌐 Read the full report here.DefiLlamaReport: Argentines’ financial reality and the impossible dollar accessArgentina had roughly 8.6 million crypto users as of 2024, representing around 20% of the population.
