[HAL1000]

Tomorrow, September 27th, Ripple partner Bitso will roll out its new payment solution in Argentina. The product will enable users in the Latin American country to access the first QR code payment system in the region powered by XRP and other cryptocurrencies.

Bitso is one of the largest exchanges in the region with over 5 million users. In Argentina alone, the platform onboarded over 1 million customers that will be able to make QR code crypto payments in certain regions as of tomorrow. The product will expand to the entire country in the coming months.

Unfortunately "Ripple partner Bitso" doesn't have a direct ARS-XRP market,  they force this two alternatives:

XRP --- BTC --- ARS

XRP --- USD --- ARS

So they don't really use XRP as a base currency, like Bitrue does. Bitso creates unnecesary friction.
