Argentina's state-owned enterprise YPF is set to integrate encryption payments at gas stations.

[Coin World] There is some movement over in Argentina.

The state-owned oil giant YPF is set to launch digital currency payments at gas stations, allowing consumers to refuel and pay directly via QR code using cryptocurrency. There are quite a few supported coins, although the specific ones have not been mentioned, but it seems they intend to roll out this system widely.

This is another example of the traditional energy industry embracing Web3. The acceptance of crypto in South America is indeed more radical than in many other regions, with both governments and enterprises trying it out. If YPF really implements this, it could become a reference model for other state-owned enterprises—after all, once the high-frequency consumption scenario of refueling is opened up, the potential for imagination is quite large.

Argentina played this move brilliantly—directly integrating crypto at gas stations. If this really spreads, South America is going to explode.

The speed in South America is still fast, and this time it's not just a small skirmish; state-owned enterprises are taking action directly. Once the gas station scenario is successfully implemented, what comes next? Convenience stores, supermarkets? With energy giants leading the way, can other industries remain still?

Wow, this operation by YPF is really amazing. South Americans are really daring! I'll just die laughing when domestic oil companies also do this trap.

South America is really playing a big game here. The severe inflation in Argentina has instead accelerated their embrace of crypto. Once the gas station scene is successfully implemented, supermarkets and convenience stores are likely to follow, and the potential is indeed huge. What I'm worried about is that YPF ends up doing a half-hearted job, promising a bunch of supported coins, but only a few are actually usable. That said, traditional energy giants doing this is indeed much more reliable than those projects that are just scamcoins every day.

South America is really pushing hard, if YPF really expands this time, other state-owned enterprises will definitely follow suit.

South America is ahead again this time, it seems that under the pressure of inflation, we really have to embrace crypto for救命.
