Despite recent market downturns impacting cryptocurrency prices, Latin American investors have shown a significant shift in their purchasing habits. A new report by Bitso reveals that XRP has become the most popular altcoin among Latin Americans, surpassing even Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). According to the report, XRP accounted for a remarkable 9% of all crypto purchases in 2024, far exceeding the 5% seen for ETH, 4% for SOL, and just 2% for Dogecoin (DOGE). This trend suggests that Latin American investors are increasingly favoring XRP over more established altcoins like Ethereum and Solana. While Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins (USDC and USDT) remained the dominant assets in terms of purchases last year, accounting for 22% and 39% respectively, this shift towards XRP highlights a growing trend among these users. This change indicates that XRP may have secured a significant place in long-term portfolios within Latin America. *This is not investment advice.*
