How is this relevant to the current market state? Nothing that happens in that country related to cryptocurrency will have an impact on the market. We're talking about a country over 1million% of inflation, scarcity of food and medicine, and on the brink of collapse from a political and economical point of view.

If i'm not mistaken, this news came out last week. You would think that the market was going to react to this news since this is actually pretty big news since more than 4k merchants are using CoinGate, maybe with a small pump in the price, but nothing happened, maybe people don't care anymore about Ripple as a form of payment? Who knows.
