According to the annual report from Argentina's cryptocurrency exchange Lemon, in 2025, Latin America's monthly active user growth rate was three times that of the United States, with digital asset inflows exceeding $730 billion.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Argentina-based crypto exchange Lemon’s annual report, Latin America’s monthly active users will grow three times faster than those in the United States by 2025. The region’s total digital asset inflow will exceed $730 billion, a year-over-year increase of over 60%, accounting for 10% of the global total.

There are clear regional differences: Brazil leads in capital volume with over $318.8 billion received, nearly a 250% annual increase, driven mainly by institutional trading and integration with local payment systems. Argentina, on the other hand, ranks first in per capita monthly active users, with a penetration rate of 12% of the total population, accounting for more than a quarter of regional activity.

The report notes that high-inflation economies like Argentina and Venezuela tend to use cryptocurrencies as stores of value, with USDT widely adopted in daily transactions in Venezuela. More stable markets such as Peru and Colombia focus more on financial returns. Stablecoins are seen as the most critical factor driving regional adoption, continuing to grow rapidly through 2025.
