#Argentina is preparing for a key event in its political calendar: the midterm legislative elections, scheduled for Sunday, October 26, 2025.
With inflation still high, the devaluation of the peso, and macroeconomic tensions, the pre-electoral period is generating extreme volatility in local financial markets.
In the midst of this uncertainty, I am taking the opportunity to invest in peso-denominated securities, a typical financial instrument in the Argentine market that functions as a short-term loan (generally from 1 to 7 days) among investors through the stock exchange. I do it for one day, and I renew it day by day.
These securities offer enormous annualized interest rates, currently ranging from 75% to 145% in some short terms, driven by high liquidity demand in a context of inflation and uncertainty.
Basically, I lend #pesos to other market participants and receive a juicy interest at maturity, reinvesting for compound interest.
But not everything is rosy: the risk is enormous.
The Argentine peso could devalue drastically if the electoral results generate instability, as has happened in past cycles.
Furthermore, factors such as inflation (still above 100% annually in projections) and possible regulatory changes post-elections could erode real gains.
Argentina is a paradise of #volatilidad : opportunities in securities, sovereign bonds, or stocks arise from political and economic unpredictability.
Is the Argentine peso the true #Shittcoin ? That will depend on whether Kirchnerism wins again, and Argentina regresses to its worst historical moment, or if it continues on the libertarian path towards a better future...
