Argentine state-owned energy giant YPF is considering accepting cryptocurrency payments for fuel fees
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Argentina's state-owned energy company YPF is considering allowing drivers to pay for gasoline and diesel using cryptocurrency.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the plan may rely on third-party processors rather than direct wallet payments, with local and international platforms such as Lemon, Ripio, or an exchange responsible for handling currency conversion. If adopted, the system would operate similarly to YPF's existing method for dollar purchases. Customers would need to scan a QR code to transfer funds to YPF's account at Banco Santander, and the application would display the corresponding amount in pesos, as well as a reference exchange rate based on the purchase price at Banco Nación.
