The token is available on Ethereum, World Chain, and Base. It marks a major step toward bridging traditional finance with the crypto economy.
Ripio says the goal is to “lead the transformation of the financial system in Latin America”. The stablecoin wARS will give users new tools for payments, remittances, and savings without borders.
A Digital Argentinian Peso for Everyday Use
The launch of wARS follows Ripio’s earlier success with the tokenization of the AL30 bond, known as wAL30rd, which brought government debt instruments onchain. Now, by linking digital assets directly to the Argentine peso, Ripio is building an ecosystem where everyday financial operations—from paying bills to sending money abroad—can happen seamlessly on the blockchain.

The move also reflects a growing trend across Latin America, where inflation and currency instability have pushed people to explore crypto alternatives. In Argentina, where annual inflation surpassed 140% in 2024, digital assets are increasingly being used as a hedge and a faster way to move money. By giving the peso a blockchain-based form, Ripio is making it more adaptable for modern finance.
Greater access to digital finance is here. We’re proud to team up with @Ripio to bring local stablecoins to LATAM, starting with the Argentine Peso (wARS) on World Chain.

Ethereum, Base, and World Chain each bring their own advantages to wARS. Ethereum ensures security and global interoperability, Base offers lower fees and fast transactions, and World Chain supports broader accessibility in regions where blockchain adoption is still growing. This multi-chain approach helps Ripio make wARS usable both within Argentina and across international markets.
