Kripton Integrates TRON and Tether to Drive Crypto Adoption in Argentina

Argentine e-commerce platform Kripton announced a comprehensive alliance with TRON DAO, which will see more than 2,000 merchants adopt Tether’s USDT on the TRON network. This move aims to improve payments efficiency, reduce transaction fees, and enhance financial inclusion in the Argentine market.

Enabling Low-Cost, Secure Payments

By integrating Tether USD (USDT) as a preferred “digital dollar,” Kripton’s merchants will leverage TRON’s high-speed, cost-effective blockchain. TRON has pledged to subsidize transaction fees between Kripton and its users, creating near-zero fees for sending and receiving USDT.

“Given TRON is the network with the highest number of USDT transactions, we’re confident this integration will benefit our users and the entire Argentine crypto ecosystem,”
– Juan Pablo Moreno, CEO of Kripton

Microloan Initiative for Local Workers

Beyond retail payments, Kripton and TRON will offer interest-free microloans to central market laborers for purchasing carts and work apparel. The partnership anticipates around 110,000 transactions and $2 million in volume over 18 months, fueled by market workers using USDT balances on TRON at Kripton-enabled merchants.

Key Points

• No-Fee Transactions: All TRON fees associated with Kripton’s platform are subsidized, enabling cost-effective remittances and purchases.
• Microloan Pilot: Funding for these interest-free microloans will stem from on-chain transactions, promoting economic empowerment.
• Tether USDT: Serves as a secure and efficient stablecoin for day-to-day transactions, mitigating volatility risks.

Collaborative Efforts Across the Region

This alliance unites the TRON DAO, Tether, Kripton, and various civil organizations that champion Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies within Argentina. The goal is to lay the foundation for broader blockchain acceptance and usage in the region.

“This collaboration with Kripton and Tether is an important step toward the mass adoption of blockchain technologies in Argentina,”
– Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at the TRON DAO

By integrating TRON’s technology and Tether’s USDT, Kripton aims to extend its impact beyond e-commerce, facilitating everyday commerce and microfinance solutions. The initiative serves as a milestone in Argentina’s ongoing journey toward greater crypto adoption and economic inclusivity.
