Only 28.8% of the funds held in the region are concentrated in self-custody wallets, compared to over 50% registered before 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Campa, head of digital assets at Towerbank, stresses that this phenomenon is related to the new needs of customers, both institutional and retail, in the region. <strong>\u201cThe common point across markets is that customers increasingly do not want their bank account in one place and their digital assets somewhere else. They want to receive, hold, convert, transfer, spend, and access financial products from the same relationship,\u201d<\/strong> he assessed.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, nations like Venezuela <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/1-38-billion-in-one-month-how-venezuelas-binance-p2p-market-now-rivals-its-oil-exports\/\">have fled to crypto<\/a> as a necessity, given the rise in inflation and devaluation levels of the national fiat currency. The perfect storm originated after January\u2019s political shock, when leader Nicolas Maduro was arrested by the U.S. military on Venezuelan soil, a fact that prompted a vigorous recovery of the country\u2019s crypto economy.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts consulted by Chainalysis concur that after the event, there has been an influx of merchants and retail users leveraging crypto amid the political and economic uncertainty. <strong>\u201cRather than creating Venezuela\u2019s stablecoin economy, the shock appears to have accelerated adoption of infrastructure and habits that were already in place,\u201d<\/strong> the report stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Another<a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/the-40-billion-opportunity-why-nubank-and-revolut-are-betting-big-on-mexico\/\"> relevant activity hub is Mexico<\/a>, which has become a stablecoin center for cross-border flows. Chainalysis found that 81% of all crypto activity in Mexico is stablecoin-focused, with monthly values reaching $1.8 billion in June 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/crypto-news\/latin-america-emerges-as-global-stablecoin-hub-in-new-report\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways LATAM became a global stablecoin hub, with growth driven by Mexico and Venezuela offsetting Brazil\u2019s decline.
