Huobi Group Eyes Possible Expansion In Argentina
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Huobi Group Founder & CEO Leon Li met with a delegation of senior Argentinian finance officials this week during their state visit to China. Li met with Felix Martin Soto, Deputy Minister of Finance and Javier Matias Mana, Director-General of the Bilateral External Finance Bureau to discuss Huobi’s possible expansion into the country as well as the role blockchain could play in Argentina’s economic development.
The visit to Huobi was an important stop during their visit to Beijing for higher level collaboration between Chinese and Argentine governments.
“It was a great honour to meet with Deputy Minister of Finance Soto and to explore with him Huobi’s advantages when it comes to blockchain technologies and applications,” Li said. “We hope to further strengthen our cooperation with the Argentine Ministry of Finance to achieve win-win development for both of us.”
“We would like to learn how to participate in cryptocurrency and blockchain industry from Huobi,” said Soto, who heads up Argentina’s international financial relations. “Through tokenization on Huobi’s platform, for example, Argentina’splentiful agricultural, mineral and energy resources could be well financed by global investors.”
Soto believes Argentina should consider blockchain technology as a way to promote financial inclusion and reduce government costs. “At present, half of our population doesn’t have bank accounts. They practice mainly cash transactions and convert their savings into US dollars,” Soto said. “Through promoting cryptocurrency and blockchain technology and with Huobi’s assistance, we could reduce our demand for US dollars, which eventually would contribute to stabilizing the local market and attracting global investment.”
Huobi Group has expanded rapidly in recent years, opening up exchanges in areas like Japan, South Korea, Russia and – through its strategic partner Huobi (US) – the United States. It serves much of the rest of the world through Huobi Global, its flagship exchange platform.
Over the past few years, Argentina has been at the forefront of blockchain adoption in the South American region. Blockchain-centric start-ups have sprung up to serve the needs of the South American public and many Argentinians are increasingly investing in digital assets. The shift to cryptocurrency and blockchain is starting to manifest visible changes in Argentina. Earlier this year, for example, Bitcoin became an accepted payment method for busses, subways, trains and other forms of public transport and the country is also host to a growing number of crypto ATMs.
“With Huobi’s expertise in blockchain and cryptocurrency, Argentina can accelerate its pace to digital assets era,” Soto said.
