🔘Venezuela 🇻🇪 — 18th place
🔘Argentina 🇦🇷 — 20th place.

🟰 In Brazil, more than 90% of cryptocurrency flows are currently linked to stablecoins, which significantly reduces transaction costs and facilitates international payments compared with traditional financial systems.

🟰 Brazil represents the most notable example of institutional investment. The digital bank Nubank now rewards customers for holding USDC. In 2025, the Brazilian exchange B3 approved the world’s first spot ETF products based on XRP and SOL, ahead of the United States🇺🇸. Centralized exchanges including Mercado Bitcoin, NovaDAX and Binance have jointly listed more than 200 new trading pairs denominated in Brazilian reais since early 2024.

🟰 Argentina, by contrast, is generally viewed as a more volatile market. However, a 12% monthly active user rateand 5.4 million crypto-app downloads in 2025 indicate a growing level of retail investor participation.

➡️ In terms of transaction volume, it exceeded 730 billion USD in 2025, which is 60% higher than the previous year.
