XRP is a cryptocurrency that is designed to assist banks move money around rapidly. It is the sixth largest digital asset by market capitalization.
Banco Galicia also stated that other cryptocurrency choices may be added in the future.
One of the reasons crypto is popular in Argentina is that the country has one of the world’s highest inflation rates—year-on-year, it’s currently above 50%, according to the country’s central bank.
Bitcoiners have long argued that the asset serves as an inflation hedge because the digital currencies’ supply is limited to 21 million, but some analysts argue that the cryptocurrency is more closely linked to equities.
