ChainCatcher reports that, according to Argentina-based crypto exchange Lemon’s annual report, Latin America’s monthly active users will grow three times faster than in the United States by 2025. The region’s digital asset reception volume will exceed $730 billion for the year, a year-over-year increase of over 60%, accounting for 10% of the global total.
There are clear regional differences: Brazil leads in capital volume with over $318.8 billion received, nearly a 250% annual increase, mainly driven by institutional trading and integration of local payment systems. Argentina, on the other hand, ranks first in the proportion of monthly active users per capita, with a penetration rate of 12% of the total population, accounting for more than a quarter of regional activity.
The report points out that users in high-inflation economies like Argentina and Venezuela tend to use cryptocurrencies as a store of value. USDT has become widely used in daily transactions in Venezuela. More stable markets such as Peru and Colombia focus more on financial returns. Stablecoins are seen as the most critical factor driving regional adoption, with continued rapid growth into 2025.
