Bitso Business, the business-to-business division of the Latin America-focused cryptocurrency exchange Bitso, reported that it is on track to process close to $82 billion in stablecoin payments during 2025, marking a major milestone for digital finance in the region.
The company said the volume processed this year places Bitso Business as the first platform in Latin America to reach such a high level of stablecoin settlement activity, underlining growing institutional adoption.
According to Bitso, the $82 billion figure exceeds the annual gross domestic product of more than 100 countries, highlighting the scale at which stablecoins are now being used for real economic activity.
The exchange noted that the processed amount is roughly equivalent to every adult in the United States making a $250 transaction through the platform, illustrating the breadth of usage.
Mexico emerged as one of the largest contributors to the milestone, with approximately $15.6 billion in stablecoin payments processed through Bitso Business during 2025.
Bitso’s strong performance in Mexico has been attributed to its local on-ramping services, which allow businesses to convert fiat currency into stablecoins quickly and efficiently.
The firm said these services offer instant transaction confirmation, low processing costs, multilingual support and enterprise-grade reliability for corporate clients.
Bitso Business reported that demand is being driven by companies seeking faster and cheaper alternatives to traditional payment rails for both domestic and cross-border transactions.
The company stated that Latin America remains a key growth market due to ongoing challenges with legacy banking infrastructure and cross-border settlement inefficiencies.
Surpassing the USD $80 billion mark is more than a scale milestone—it’s a signal that the global financial system is undergoing a structural shift toward stablecoin-based infrastructure, Felipe Vallejo said.
Vallejo added that the growth reflects early but meaningful progress away from traditional payment systems towards blockchain-based settlement models.
Bitso executives said stablecoins are increasingly being used not only for international transfers but also for everyday local payments across the region.
Looking ahead, the company expects transaction volumes to continue rising as more enterprises adopt stablecoin-powered financial tools.
Latin America has become one of the fastest-growing markets for stablecoin-based financial infrastructure, Imran Ahmad said.
Ahmad noted that Bitso Business plans to expand its services in 2026 by deepening integrations with local payment systems and improving cross-border settlement capabilities.
The company also aims to simplify technical integration for businesses by enabling seamless connections with existing enterprise platforms.
