We woke up this Monday, July 25, with an important rise of the blue dollar in Argentina reaching over 340 ARS per dollar as reported by the Central Bank of Argentina in the various financial entities. Today we will be talking a little about this phenomenon that is happening in Argentina and the way in which you can protect your money supported by digital assets and stable currencies.
But… What is the blue dollar?
It is a term used to refer to the circulating dollar on the black market and can generally have a higher value than the official dollar. This denomination refers to the color that can be observed when a fibron is applied to recognize counterfeit banknotes but The truth is that the black market dollar, while it may seem like a manipulation at first glance, could shed a lot of light on the real value of the dollar under the circumstances.
This so-called “blue dollar” was born in 2011 as a response to the restrictions for the acquisition of foreign currency that the AFIP and the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic began to apply under the command of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Current price of the blue dollar!

Response of the Argentine Government
The Argentine government has sought to penalize the acquisition of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies by limiting the purchase of “solidarity dollars” which offer 200 dollars a month to each Argentine. But this has done nothing but encourage people to protect themselves on their own using cryptocurrencies and stablecoins like USD Coin (USDC) either Tether (USDT).
Cryptocurrencies as a store of value!
This option can be highly beneficial for people in countries with high inflation rates like Venezuela and Argentina. It should be noted that for this reason, Venezuela has largely become the Latin American country with the highest adoption of cryptocurrencies by its population.
