# What role do stablecoins play in LATAM?

### What role do stablecoins play in LATAM?

**Stablecoins are the primary type of crypto asset used in Latin America**, surpassing Bitcoin and other crypto assets geared toward speculation.

According to regional data, they account for between **50% and 90% of all crypto transactions** and are mainly** used as savings instruments, payment methods, and remittance channels**.

In Argentina,** around 50% of crypto purchases correspond to stablecoins** such as USDT and USDC, and the country has an adoption rate close to 20%, the highest in the region.

Data from the exchange Bitso reinforces this trend:** 46% of all purchases made on its platform** (active in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia)** are stablecoins**.

This pattern shows that, in the region, stablecoins serve a practical function within the everyday economy rather than a purely speculative role.
