Argentina is on the cusp of transforming into a cryptocurrency hub following a strategic partnership with the Cardano Foundation to promote the adoption of blockchain technology. This partnership, along with recent technical developments, signals a positive outlook for ADA, with an analyst forecasting a price of $7.8.
The Entre Ríos Province in Argentina has taken a groundbreaking step towards blockchain adoption by forming a strategic partnership with the Cardano Foundation. According to information obtained by CNF, the governor of Entre Ríos Province, Rogelio Frigerio, and Rafael Fraga, the lead for Business Development at Cardano Foundation, signed and sealed this strategic partnership.
The collaboration between Cardano and Argentina began with a tweet from Dario Epstein, Director at Research For Traders, indicating that a technology company specializing in third-generation blockchain technology with a focus on decentralized governance had reached out to the government to establish a presence in Argentina. Cardano’s co-founder, Charles Hoskinson, responded with praise for the tech talent in Argentina, highlighting the invaluable contributions of developers like ATIX’s Alan Verbner over the past eight years.
Argentina is making strides towards creating a favorable environment for cryptocurrency adoption by amending laws related to anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism. The country recently introduced a bill to provide significant tax cuts for individuals who declare their crypto holdings. President Milei’s interactions with Bitcoin proponent Max Kieser and El Salvador’s efforts to legalize Bitcoin for payments and settlements have also drawn attention to Argentina’s crypto-friendly initiatives.
The National Securities Commission (CNV) in Argentina has collaborated with the National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) in El Salvador to gain insights into Bitcoin adoption and crypto regulation. Experts believe that Argentina can leverage El Salvador’s expertise in the technology sector to enhance the delivery of crypto services.
Despite a slight increase in ADA’s price following these developments, external market factors led to a 1% decline in the asset’s value in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, ADA was trading at $0.45. Crypto market veteran Javon Marks predicts that ADA could reach $7.8, citing similarities in market behavior between the current trend and the 2020-2021 period when ADA saw significant price increases.
Overall, the partnership between Cardano and Argentina, coupled with the country’s efforts to create a crypto-friendly environment, has the potential to drive further growth and adoption of cryptocurrencies in the region.
