Stablecoins made up 40% of Latin America's crypto purchases, with USDC surpassing Bitcoin on Bitso.

According to Bitso's 2025 report, stablecoins accounted for 40% of all crypto purchases in Latin America, marking a shift toward assets that maintain dollar stability rather than speculative coins like Bitcoin. USDC purchases specifically exceeded Bitcoin purchases on the platform, reflecting a preference for stable, dollar-pegged assets amid inflation and currency volatility in the region. This trend highlights a practical use of crypto for preserving value and facilitating payments rather than investment speculation, suggesting exchanges should prioritize stablecoin infrastructure to meet regional demand.
