Argentina Becomes Latin America’s Leading Hub for Cryptocurrency Inflows
Argentina has emerged as the leading Latin American nation for cryptocurrency inflows, surpassing Brazil.
A Chainalysis report from October 9 indicates that between July 2023 and June 2024, Argentina’s crypto deposits reached approximately $91 billion, compared to Brazil’s $90 billion.
This surge in cryptocurrency use in Argentina is largely driven by ongoing inflation and currency devaluation, prompting citizens to seek alternative means of savings, such as dollar-pegged stablecoins.
Argentina has developed one of the largest stablecoin markets globally, accounting for 61.8% of its transaction volume, surpassing Brazil’s 59.8% and well above the global average of 44.7%.
