Listen/read the latest econtalk episode to learn why Stable coins are supper popular at places like Argentina: https://www.econtalk.org/devon-zuegel-on-inflation-argentina...

Basically, the reason is that the Government print a lot of money which result in high/hyper inflation, but then create all these obstacles for the locals to run transactions in more stable currencies (e.g. USD). The locals use Stable coins to facilitate transactions that would otherwise be very hard or impossible to perform in local currencies (e.g. buying a house).
