Latin America’s crypto user growth outpaced U.S. by 3x in 2025, report shows

A report from Argentinian crypto firm Lemon indicates that Latin America's cryptocurrency market expanded significantly faster than the U.S. in 2025, with transaction volume reaching over $730 billion, a 60% annual increase, accounting for about 10% of global crypto activity. Monthly active crypto app users in the region grew by approximately 18% year-over-year, roughly three times the rate seen in the United States. Brazil led in transaction size with $318.8 billion, fueled by institutional trading and regulatory clarity. Argentina saw continued adoption despite inflation, driven by integrating crypto rails with Brazil’s PIX system for cross-border payments using stablecoins like USDT. Peru also emerged as a fast-growing market due to interoperability between digital wallets and banks. Stablecoins are central to this shift, enabling users across the region to send money abroad and bypass traditional banking networks.
