Cointelegraph
A Bitso report reveals that stablecoins accounted for 40% of Latin American crypto purchases in 2025, outpacing Bitcoin's 18% share.

Summary

According to the 2025 report by crypto exchange Bitso, stablecoins like USDt and USDC have overtaken Bitcoin in regional purchasing volume, accounting for 40% of transactions compared to Bitcoin's 18%. This trend signifies a shift toward "digital dollarization" as users in Latin America seek stability against local inflation and currency depreciation. While stablecoins are increasingly used for daily transactions and remittances, Bitcoin remains the primary long-term savings vehicle, held in 52% of regional crypto portfolios.
