ARGt: the Argentine peso stablecoin issued by Twin

Financial infrastructure is gradually moving toward blockchain-based systems. Payments, settlement, and financial asset distribution are increasingly being integrated into on-chain networks that allow financial activity to operate through open digital rails.

During the early stages of this transition, most activity concentrated around USD-denominated stablecoins. Assets such as USDT and USDC became the primary unit of account across the crypto ecosystem.

However, many financial flows still occur in local currencies: contracts, payments, settlements, and commercial operations. In this context, local currency stablecoins serve a different role: they allow those financial flows to operate within blockchain infrastructure without necessarily converting through the U.S. dollar.

ARGt is the Argentine peso stablecoin issued by Twin.

It maintains a 1:1 parity with the Argentine peso (ARS) and functions as a settlement layer for local currency transactions within blockchain-based financial systems.

What 1:1 parity means

Each 1 ARGt represents 1 Argentine peso (ARS).

This parity is maintained through a reserve structure designed so that the value of the assets backing ARGt is equal to or greater than the total tokens in circulation.

Within blockchain infrastructure, ARGt operates as a settlement layer for Argentine pesos.

What backs ARGt

Every ARGt in circulation is backed by verifiable financial assets.

Key components of the reserve structure include:

• short-term sovereign debt instruments.
• Argentine peso money market funds used for liquidity management.
• Argentine peso balances held in local currency.

The system is designed so that reserve assets fully cover the total supply of ARGt.

The reserve structure is documented and can be verified through auditable records.

Who issues ARGt

Twin manages the issuance architecture, reserve structure, and on-chain infrastructure that enables ARGt to function as a stablecoin within blockchain-based financial systems.

What a local currency stablecoin enables

A stablecoin denominated in Argentine pesos allows financial platforms and users to operate in local currency within blockchain infrastructure.

Some of the primary use cases include:

• Argentine peso transfers across blockchain networks.
• Exchange between stablecoins and digital assets.
• International payments denominated in local currency.
• Integration with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. (Soon)

ARGt is currently available through integrators such as Belo and integrated by additional platforms within the ecosystem.

Why local currency stablecoins matter

USD stablecoins play an important role in the global crypto ecosystem. However, many financial flows continue to be denominated in local currencies.

A local currency stablecoin allows those transactions to operate directly in the domestic currency within blockchain infrastructure.

ARGt functions as a settlement layer for Argentine pesos within the on-chain ecosystem.

FAQs

Does ARGt fluctuate like other cryptocurrencies?

No. ARGt is a stablecoin designed to maintain a 1:1 parity with the Argentine peso through a reserve-backed structure.

Who can use ARGt?

ARGt can be used by individuals or platforms that integrate Twin’s infrastructure. This includes exchanges, wallets, fintechs, and protocols that need to operate in local currency within blockchain systems.

How is ARGt different from USDT or USDC?

USDT and USDC are stablecoins denominated in U.S. dollars.

ARGt is denominated in Argentine pesos and allows transactions denominated in local currency to operate directly on blockchain infrastructure.

For this reason, ARGt and USD stablecoins typically serve complementary roles within the ecosystem.

Can ARGt be used for payments outside Argentina?

Yes. Because ARGt exists on blockchain networks, it can be transferred between addresses regardless of geographic location, enabling international transfers denominated in Argentine pesos.
