The report, titled <strong>Latam Crypto 2025<\/strong>, highlights the high adoption rate and transaction volume of stablecoins, showing that Latin America is not only accepting them but actively using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stablecoins as a Pillar of Financial Transactions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dune report, which analyzes exchanges and projects aimed at Latin American users, reveals that stablecoins generated a transaction volume of <strong>over $50 billion<\/strong> between January 2021 and July 2025. Among them, <strong>USDT<\/strong> ($32.4 billion) dominates, nearly doubling the volume of <strong>USDC<\/strong> ($18.36 billion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dune points out that the use of stablecoins is evolving, shifting from speculative trading to more practical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;This evolution likely reflects a broader shift in the use cases driving exchange flows: from speculative trading of volatile assets toward practical applications such as payments, remittances, merchant account settlement, and substitution for dollar savings,&#8221; the report states.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market Dominance and Preferred Chains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July, <strong>90%<\/strong> of transfer volume on exchanges consisted of USDC and USDT, clearly indicating their popularity. Overall, stablecoins accounted for <strong>39%<\/strong> of all purchases in the region in 2024. In Argentina, that percentage is even higher\u2014USDT and USDC made up <strong>72%<\/strong> of all crypto purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the blockchains used, <strong>Ethereum<\/strong> remains the main network for transaction settlement. <strong>Tron<\/strong> has taken on a dominant role in low-cost stablecoin transfers, while <strong>Polygon<\/strong> has carved out a niche for payment flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dune&#8217;s findings confirm what regional exchanges like Bitso have been claiming for years: the growing adoption of stable assets is a result of the increase in their real-world, practical applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latin America has become fertile ground for stablecoins, which have established themselves as one of the main financial pillars of
