Argentine Peso (ARS) to Venezuelan Bolívar (VES) — Parallel Market Cross-Rate
As of June 6, 2026, 1 ARS is worth about 0.5039 VES, and 1 VES is worth about 1.985 ARS, using Argentina's and Venezuela's parallel (black market) exchange rates. We derive this cross-rate by bridging both currencies through the US dollar: in Argentina one dollar trades near 1,498 ARS on the street, and in Venezuela one dollar trades near 755 VES.
For everyday amounts that means roughly 1,000 ARS ≈ 503.904 VES, and 10,000 ARS ≈ 5,039 VES, at today's parallel rates.
Argentina hosts a large Venezuelan diaspora, and both economies live by their blue/parallel dollar — so peso-to-bolívar pricing runs entirely on street rates.
How the ARS to VES cross-rate is calculated
There is no large, direct market that quotes ARS against VES, so the realistic rate is built in two steps through the US dollar — the currency both Argentina and Venezuela actually trade against. First we convert ARS to dollars at Argentina's parallel rate, then dollars to VES at Venezuela's parallel rate.
Put numerically: 1 ARS ÷ 1,498 (ARS per USD) ≈ $0.000667, then × 755 (VES per USD) ≈ 0.5039 VES. Using the street rate on both legs gives a far more realistic figure than multiplying two official rates that may be impossible to obtain.
Why the parallel ARS/VES rate differs from the official cross
Both of these currencies carry a parallel-market premium of their own. In Argentina, the gap is driven by strict capital controls (the "cepo"), persistent high inflation, distrust of the peso; in Venezuela, by years of hyperinflation, oil-revenue collapse, currency controls. Because each official rate can overstate what its currency is really worth, an official ARS/VES cross can be doubly misleading.
Today Argentina shows a modest premium of about 4.1%, while Venezuela shows a steep premium of about 35.7%. The parallel cross-rate already bakes both of these gaps in, which is why it reflects what traders actually pay.
Argentina and Venezuela: who converts ARS to VES?
Argentina hosts a large Venezuelan diaspora, and both economies live by their blue/parallel dollar — so peso-to-bolívar pricing runs entirely on street rates.
Argentina's "dólar blue" exists because the cepo limits official dollar access — alongside financial rates like the MEP and CCL. Venezuelans follow the "dólar paralelo" through monitor-style trackers because the bolívar can lose value by the day.
