Latin America has witnessed a surge in cryptocurrency transactions, exceeding $1.5 trillion between July 2022 and June 2025, according to new research from Chainalysis. This growth is fueled primarily by stablecoin usage, which now makes up over 90% of digital currency flows in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
