According to ChainCatcher, a report from Argentine crypto exchange Lemon reveals that Latin America's monthly active crypto users are projected to grow at three times the rate of the United States by 2025. The region's annual digital asset reception is expected to exceed $730 billion, marking a growth of over 60% and accounting for 10% of the global total.
The report highlights significant regional disparities. Brazil leads in capital scale with a reception exceeding $318 billion, driven by institutional trading and integration with local payment systems, showing an annual growth of nearly 250%. Argentina boasts the highest per capita monthly active user ratio, with a penetration rate reaching 12% of the total population, accounting for over a quarter of the region's activity.
In high-inflation economies like Argentina and Venezuela, users tend to use crypto assets as a store of value, with USDT widely adopted in everyday transactions in Venezuela. Meanwhile, more stable markets such as Peru and Colombia focus on financial returns. Stablecoins are identified as the key factor driving regional adoption, with continued rapid growth anticipated through 2025.
