A memorandum of understanding signed this Tuesday, July 14, between Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay seeks the creation of the so-called “South American Single Sky”; an initiative for the integration of the regional civil aviation market and greater accessibility of air services among the participating countries.

Transportation authorities from the signatory countries met to advance the “gradual liberalization of air transport in the region, respecting the legal and regulatory frameworks of each state.”

Among the objectives of this agreement, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Ports and Airports, is “expanding the range of flights, progressively reducing regulatory barriers, and facilitating airline access to the markets of participating countries, in order to improve regional connectivity and increase competition.”

The four South American countries will create a working group with a one-year deadline to establish proposals for the gradual implementation of the Single South American Sky project.

The use of stablecoins in everyday payments in Latin America continues to increase. Digital currencies are a response to factors such as inflation, monetary weakness, financial volatility and difficult access to dollars.

In various LA countries “the so-called digital dollars are beginning to be used to pay, save and send money, beyond crypto trading.”

Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina set the trend in the region in terms of the adoption of payment systems based on “digital wallets, QR codes, cards”, as well as increasingly efficient and secure applications and platforms.

The currencies of these countries are converted to stablecoins such as USDT or USDC or cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.

Traditional banking users now see digital assets as an everyday means of payment, not as a means of investment. The growth in the use of stablecoins in Latin America is linked to “specific needs: protecting purchasing power, moving money between countries, accessing a more stable unit of account and making payments without always depending on the traditional banking system.” Added to this is sending money to relatives in other countries in the format of remittances.

On Monday, June 22, Argentine President Javier Milei authorized the Treasury to acquire $5 billion in new debt under partial guarantee schemes provided by multilateral organizations.

While the resolution does not specify the lenders involved, it does mention the “recent approvals from the World Bank, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, and the Inter-American Development Bank, which provided guarantees totaling $2.55 billion to facilitate access to foreign currency.”

The Mieli administration considers the measure a “strategy to reduce its financing costs, deeming the collaboration with internationally recognized banking institutions as advantageous.”

The funds in question are urgently needed to meet debt payments in foreign currency due for the current and next fiscal years.

By tying international banks to public coffers, the government is compromising the country, “deepening an external dependency that limits social spending and public investment.”

Regarding the country’s internal situation, it is known that the first major payment is due on July 9, with the maturity of $4.35 billion in principal on Global and Bonar bonds. Of this total, $3.8 billion is owed to private creditors, so the economic team must ensure immediate liquidity to avoid a default scenario.

Data published by the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) shows that by 2025, the Latin America and Caribbean region will contribute approximately 11 % of the world’s oil supply and nearly 6 % of its natural gas supply.

The report “Panorama 2025: Oil and Natural Gas Production and Foreign Trade in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)” revealed that “oil production in the region increased by 20 %” last year. Regarding the hydrocarbon sector, the report noted a boost from Guyana’s growth and Brazil’s continued leadership.

According to the document, seven countries account for 87 % of oil production in Latin America: Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Guyana, and Ecuador, each with a share exceeding 5 % of the regional total.

The list is distributed as follows: Brazil as the main regional producer, “reaching 3.77 million barrels per day (bpd); followed by Mexico, which registers 1.67 million bpd; leaving Venezuela in third place, with 1.08 million bpd.

Guyana’s oil production stood at 900,000 bpd, Argentina’s at 878,800 bpd, Colombia’s at 746,000 bpd, while Ecuador’s remained at 439,717 barrels of oil.”

The Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires worked with the Argentine Fintech Chamber to update the tax scheme for buying and selling cryptocurrencies.

The result was the elimination of taxes on these transactions. The measure impacts 25 million accounts in capital markets, “in what the Argentine fintech sector described as a significant step towards a regulatory framework more suited to the reality of the digital asset market.”

The change is of great importance considering that “Argentina has one of the most active cryptocurrency markets in Latin America.” According to the Fintech Chamber, there are 25 million accounts in capital markets in the country, mainly through digital wallets. “Additionally, 6 million people access credit through fintech platforms, with half of those users lacking a prior salary account.”

Until the reform, which could extend to other provincesm, the buying and selling of digital assets in the capital was subject to a Gross Income tax that the industry considered disproportionate, creating disparities compared to the treatment of traditional banks.

The members of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) are analyzing the possibility of Venezuela’s reincorporation into the trade bloc, taking into account the easing of sanctions against the country as well as changes in the political landscape.

In this regard, Brazil’s Vice President, Geraldo Alckmin, suggested that Venezuela’s suspension could be reviewed, “arguing that the nation is currently going through a different phase than in 2017, the year it was excluded from the organization.”

Furthermore, the group’s members are considering the restoration of relations between Venezuela, the IMF, and the World Bank.

In any case, “for Venezuela’s return to materialize, the block requires the absolute consensus of its founders. This implies a new technical evaluation of compliance with the political, customs, and human rights standards required by the organization.”

It is important to note that the analysis of Venezuela’s return to the trade bloc is taking place during a Mercosur restructuring. Furthermore, the measure has not only political implications, but also energy and commercial ones, since the return “would allow Caracas to normalize its export routes to the south and allow member countries to recover a partner with vast hydrocarbon reserves.”

The increased adoption of stablecoins in Argentina, as a hedge against inflation, positions the country as a benchmark in Latin America.

Macroeconomic factors such as low financial inclusion, exchange restrictions, and the gap in the dollar parity have driven the search for alternatives that provide security. This is where stablecoins come in, representing a valid, secure, and efficient solution.

According to various reports from the crypto ecosystem, the use of stablecoins in the region accelerated significantly over the past year. In particular, their adoption by Latin American companies doubled between the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025, solidifying their position as key tools for international payments, treasury operations, and foreign exchange.

In connection with this information, the Criptonoticias portal refers to the April 6, 2026 report from the payment card provider DeCard, which details that Argentina leads the “Stablecoin Readiness Index” with a perfect score of 100/100.

Some of the uses of these digital assets in Argentina include their use as a store of value, to cope not only with inflation but also with the devaluation of the peso, the official currency.

Furthermore, the South American nation currently surpasses Brazil in per capita adoption, boasting the “highest level of monthly active users and penetration per capita in the region.”

In this regard, stablecoins are routinely accepted in more than 15,000 businesses, and the total transaction volume is estimated at 61.8 %.

Similar to the United States, which also broke with the WHO after Donald Trump’s election victory, Argentina has left the WHO. The request was submitted in February 2015, when the government cited disagreements in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno announced the news, explaining that “the withdrawal from the WHO also entails a new assertion of sovereignty and a veiled criticism of multilateralism.”

According to the official, the country will continue to promote “international cooperation in health through bilateral agreements and regional forums, fully safeguarding its sovereignty and its decision-making capacity regarding health policies.”

Argentina has strongly criticized the lockdown model promoted by the WHO during the pandemic, calling it a crime against humanity.
