How structural is crypto adoption in Latin America?

Latin America has established itself as one of the most active regions in the world in cryptocurrency usage.

Between July 2022 and June 2025, the region processed $1.5 trillion in crypto transaction volume, with a 42.5% year-over-year growth rate, surpassing Europe in total volume.

The size of this crypto economy is comparable to the GDP of developed countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Austria. Within the region, Brazil leads in value received, with $318.8 billion, representing nearly one-third of all crypto activity in Latin America.

Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia follow as the most relevant markets.

This level of adoption indicates that cryptocurrency usage in LATAM is structural, with a significant presence in the daily economic activity of several countries in the region.
