In Argentina, dollar domination is large, with USDC and <span>USDT<\/span> totalling over 70% of all <span>cryptocurrency<\/span> bought. On the contrary, Brazil is the most balanced market, where <span>stablecoins<\/span> reached 34% of all purchases, while <span>bitcoin<\/span> topped at 22%. Colombia and Mexico sit in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bitso, these findings reflect \u201c<strong>a structural shift in how <span>crypto<\/span> is being used across the region: less as a speculative instrument and increasingly as financial infrastructure for savings, payments, and cross-border value transfer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The prevalence of <span>stablecoins<\/span> indicates that Latam is not adopting <span>stablecoins<\/span> as a result of the decentralization they provide or by the innovation, but to access a stable currency in a reliable way, something that traditional systems are unable to provide.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, <span>bitcoin<\/span> remains an anchor for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> holders in the region, as it represent 52% of all the region\u2019s portfolios.
