According to ME News, on May 1 (UTC+8), a report released by cryptocurrency exchange Bitso revealed that in 2025, 40% of cryptocurrency trading volume in Latin America flowed into USDC and USDT, while Bitcoin accounted for only 18%. The report stated that for countries facing persistent inflation, currency depreciation, and limited access to traditional banking services, stablecoins offer a relatively convenient means of storing value and conducting transactions denominated in USD-equivalent terms. Although the proportion of Bitcoin purchases in total trading volume has declined, Bitso’s report indicates that Bitcoin continues to play a central role as a long-term savings tool in Latin America. The report notes that Bitcoin will remain the region’s primary long-term digital store of value, with 52% of cryptocurrency portfolios in the region holding Bitcoin in 2025—a slight decrease from 53% the previous year.
