Does anyone actually have any of the new countries in their #[0] app yet, or was that not part of the new look update? My uncle has family in Argentina and is anxiously awaiting the optionality this rollout will provide.

I may have misunderstood the announcement. I thought it was people in these countries would now be able to find Strike in their app store on Google or iOS and be able to create Strike accounts.
I think you’re supposed to be able to click the “Send Globally” button and those countries should show up just like the current handful in there now where you can send USD over Lightning to a phone # and it gets received in local currency in an account tied to the phone #. I recall even seeing those countries names in the app demo video at the conference. But maybe that’s coming later 🤷♂️.
It's not that you can send money to people in those countries, its that people in those countries can now officially use the app, and fund their app, (unfortunately with USDT), but that's what his caveat was, that the on and off ramps will come soon, but that you can still use it as-is for now in those countries.
Ok, got it. I must have totally missed that part. Ty.
