On 15 April 2025, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Kripton, Argentina's leading e-commerce platform, announced today the establishment of a comprehensive strategic alliance with DAO-Tron DAO, which works to accelerate the decentrization of the Internet through block-chain technology and decentrization applications. The two sides will work together to launch plans aimed at innovative digital payments and greater financial inclusion.
In this multifaceted collaboration, over 2,000 businesses working with Kripton will use USDT (Tether USD) as their preferred digit dollar to achieve secure, efficient and subsidized payments on the Tron network. Tron will cover all transaction costs between Kripton and its users, significantly reducing the costs and increasing efficiency of consumers and businesses.
In addition, the Alliance will provide interest-free micro-credits to workers in the central market for the purchase of carts and work clothes for economic growth and financial inclusion. The micro-credit scheme is expected to generate approximately 110,000 transactions and $2 million in a period of 18 months, financed by the use of USDT balances by market workers in Kripton integrated enterprises.
“We are very pleased that Tron has joined us in this project.” The CEO Juan Pablo Moreno of Kripton states, “We are confident that this integration will benefit our users and contribute to the development of Argentina's encrypted ecosystems, given that Tron is a network with the largest USDT transactions and has long been active in the community.”
This strategic cooperation is linked to ongoing collaborative efforts between Kripton, Tron, Tether and civil society organizations that promote the use of bitcoin and encrypted currency. TRON is committed to promoting the use of block chains and encrypted currency in the region.” Sam Elfarra, community spokesman for Tron DAO, said that “cooperation with Kripton and Tether is an important step towards the large-scale adoption of block chain technology in Argentina and the region as a whole”.
