Crypto community, Argentina is on fire! ๐ฅ As we kick off 2026, nearly 1 in 5 Argentines (19.8-20% of the population) are using crypto โ a massive leap driven by inflation battles and pro-freedom policies under President Javier Milei.
Key highlights from the latest data:
Adoption milestone: From ~9% in 2023 to ~20% now, leading Latin America and ranking top 20 globally (Chainalysis 2025 Index).
Stablecoins dominate: USDT rules with up to 80% of transactions โ Argentines use it for savings, remittances, and daily hedging against peso volatility. Even seniors (over 60) are jumping in, with digital wallet use surging 29.7% in 2025!
$93B+ in volume: Second in LATAM behind Brazil, with stablecoins as the lifeline.
Big regulatory wins ahead: Central Bank set to lift crypto ban โ banks could offer Bitcoin & crypto services by April 2026. Milei's vision: Free currency competition, including BTC!
From grassroots dollarization via USDT/USDC to evolving beyond just preservation (now yields, payments, and more), Argentina proves crypto thrives in real-world crises.
But watch this: Coinbase just paused peso-to-USDC trading (Jan 31 cutoff) amid regs โ will local platforms fill the gap?
Is Argentina the next crypto superpower in LATAM? Bullish on Milei's reforms exploding adoption further?
