El Dorado is a peer to peer (P2P) marketplace for the purchase and sale of stablecoins available for Argentina, Colombia, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.
The platform was created in 2020 by Guillermo Goncalvez and Juan Carlos Andreu in the midst of the hyperinflation that Venezuela was experiencing. Driven by this difficult reality, they saw the need to launch a tool so that people could save and protect their savings in the face of the inflationary crisis.
With it, users now have the possibility to exchange their currencies using the most popular payment methods in the region through the El Dorado App or through its website. Additionally, they offer a free digital wallet that is used to send and receive BTC, USDT, USDC, cEUR, cUSD, and BTC.
El Dorado seeks to facilitate equitable financial access in Latin America, guaranteeing the economic freedom of the inhabitants, who decide by their own means in which currency they are going to deposit their money, based on where they feel most secure and comfortable.
Likewise, the tool is a great advantage to be able to trade freely, since through it it is possible to access markets that are governed by supply and demand while you ensure and protect your income against economic fluctuations.
