Contxto – Global crypto investment platform Atlas Quantum from Brazil recently announced its expansion to neighboring Argentina. The company with clients in more than 30 countries also named Laurato Rodríguez Barreiro as Argentina’s new country manager. 

In Summary

With Rodríguez Barreiro in charge, he will be responsible for leading Atlas Quantum’s growth strategy throughout the country. Generally speaking, Atlas Quantum chose to enter Argentina based on its current financial and economic situations. In other words, the country is ripe for disruption. 

“Argentina has big potential,” said Rodríguez Barreiro, referring to cryptocurrencies as a solution. “High inflation and depreciation of the peso make it increasingly likely that consumers will resort to these types of assets. Each day I am more convinced that Blockchain and Bitcoin are not only going to be part of the future but they will be protagonists.”

Like all new technology, we are still in the adoption stage. As of today, less than 1 percent of the global population have fulfilled transactions with these type of assets.
