wARS is a fully collateralized stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Argentine Peso (ARS). Issued and governed by a Ripio subsidiary, it brings ARS on-chain so Argentines and global users can transact, save, and build on decentralized networks in their local currency. Backed by Ripio’s since-2013 track record in LATAM, wARS enables FX and remittances, DeFi lending and yields, merchant QR payments, and seamless on/off-ramps without leaving the ARS unit of account.
