Project:  ‘The use of cryptocurrencies as a hedging instrument in unstable Latin American economies: The cases of Argentina and El Salvador’

Supervisors: Barbara Fritz (Freie Universität Berlin), Antonio Ibarra (UNAM)

---

This project aims to study the potential effects on the real economy of accepting cryptocurrencies as an alternative means of payment in countries whose currencies are unstable. It focuses specifically on El Salvador and Argentina, as these are two volatile economies with a significant difference: in the former, cryptocurrency is accepted as ‘legal tender’, whilst in the latter it is not recognised by law or formal institutions, although its use has become widespread.
