๐Ÿšจ Stablecoins Overtake Bitcoin in Latin America Crypto Purchases

A major shift is happening across Latin America: stablecoins have now surpassed Bitcoin in crypto purchases on regional exchange Bitso, showing users increasingly want dollar-linked stability over volatility. The trend reflects inflation pressure and growing demand for faster payments.

โ€ข Stablecoins Lead Buying Activity โ€“ In 2025, 40% of crypto purchases on Bitso were stablecoins like USDC and USDT, while Bitcoin accounted for 18%.

โ€ข Bitcoin Still Held Long-Term โ€“ Despite fewer purchases, Bitcoin remains the regionโ€™s top long-term asset, representing 52% of user portfolios.

โ€ข Why Itโ€™s Happening โ€“ In countries facing inflation, currency weakness, and banking friction, stablecoins are being used for savings, payments, and remittances.

๐Ÿ“Š Insight: Latin America may be showing cryptoโ€™s real-world future: Bitcoin as savings, stablecoins as money. That split model could spread globally.
