Latin America surpasses Asia in crypto transactions
A study by Chainalysis exposed the impact of cryptocurrencies in Latin America, where the region recorded almost US$425 billion in crypto transactions between July 2023 and June 2024. Thus, Latin America represents 9.1% of the global crypto market.
Chainalysis reported that the region ranks above East Asia in terms of cryptocurrency receipts, with the second-fastest annual growth rate at 42.5%. This growth is driven particularly by Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela.
