Conference Overview
On August 27–28, 2025, Bitso hosted the first-ever Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City. The event brought together more than 1,800 participants from 43 countries across Latin America, North America, and Europe, including representatives from financial institutions, blockchain developers, and regulatory agencies. This gathering was not only a hub for technical exchange but also a pivotal milestone in the evolution of Latin America’s financial ecosystem.
The Rise of Stablecoins in Latin America
The conference centered on the adoption of stablecoins in Latin America, with a particular focus on cross-border payments and remittances. As the global economy accelerates its digital transformation, traditional banking systems continue to struggle with inefficiencies, high costs, and delays in cross-border transactions. Stablecoins offer a faster, more affordable alternative. In the first half of 2025, the volume of business payments using stablecoins doubled compared to the previous year, with especially strong adoption among gaming, e-commerce, and payment service providers.
Conference Highlights and Key Discussion Topics
Experts at the conference examined how stablecoins are driving financial inclusion throughout Latin America. Many small businesses and individuals have long lacked sufficient access to financial services. The growing use of stablecoins and digital wallets is enabling these users to participate in cross-border transactions and everyday payments with greater ease. The dialogue also addressed regulatory frameworks and compliance hurdles. Stablecoin growth requires close cooperation with local financial authorities to ensure transactions remain transparent, secure, and fully compliant with the law.
Bitso’s Strategic Moves and Future Vision
Bitso announced plans to expand its B2B offerings to the Chilean and Peruvian markets, rolling out enterprise payment solutions powered by stablecoins. These innovations will boost the efficiency of cross-border payments, help businesses cut foreign exchange expenses, and enhance their global competitiveness. Looking forward, Bitso aims to introduce additional financial products, including stablecoin-backed loans, business settlements, and digital asset custody, to deliver a more comprehensive suite of financial services for enterprises in Latin America.
Conclusion
Looking ahead, Bitso is set to host the second Stablecoin Conference in Mexico City in 2026, reinforcing its commitment to advancing stablecoin adoption and use across Latin America. As more businesses and individuals become part of the digital currency ecosystem, the region’s financial landscape is undergoing a historic transformation. Stablecoins are not only streamlining cross-border payments—they are poised to become a central force in driving economic digitalization and financial inclusion across Latin America.
