PANews reported on December 4th, citing Cointelegraph, that Argentine state-owned energy company YPF is considering allowing drivers to pay for gasoline and diesel using cryptocurrency. Sources indicate the plan may rely on third-party processing agencies rather than direct wallet payments; local and international platforms such as Lemon, Ripio, or Binance would handle currency exchange. If adopted, the system would operate similarly to YPF's existing USD purchase method. Customers would scan a QR code to transfer funds to their YPF account at Banco Santander, and the application would display the corresponding peso amount and a reference exchange rate determined based on Banco Nación's buying rate.
