The use of stablecoins in institutional payments in Latin America recorded a significant jump in 2025. According to the report Stablecoins Landscape in Latin America, released by Bitso Business during the Stablecoin Conference 2025 in Mexico City, the volume of transactions of this type more than doubled between the second half of 2024 and the first half of 2025.

Institutional growth and new sectors

The analysis was conducted based on a sample of over 1,300 corporate clients from Bitso's B2B unit, which provides infrastructure for cross-border payments. The survey shows that gaming companies and payment service providers (PSPs) led the expansion, signaling that the use of stablecoins has already surpassed the field of remittances and is consolidating as a treasury, exchange, and institutional settlement tool.

Among the highlights of the report:

  • The volume of stablecoins in institutional payments more than doubled in six months.

  • The gaming sector grew 5.3 times in adoption.

  • PSPs recorded a 68% increase in the use of stablecoins.

  • 45% of the total volume moved by Bitso Business is already linked to exchange, treasury, and B2B payments.

  • Mexico maintained its leadership, with 47% of regional transactions, followed by Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina, which also recorded increases.

Rebranding and strategy of Bitso Business

During the conference, Bitso Business also presented its new brand identity. The update, which replaces the traditional green with blue, aims to strengthen the company's position as a provider of infrastructure for institutional payments, serving over 1,900 companies in the region.

Hackathon MXNB

The event also served as the stage for the announcement of the winners of the Hackathon MXNB, organized by Juno (a Bitso group company) in partnership with Arbitrum, QED Investors, and Portal. Among the highlights are Kustodia, which developed programmable custody solutions for payments, and RoomFi, which uses smart contracts to tokenize rentals.

With over a decade of operation, Bitso reinforces its bet on the use of stablecoins as a central tool for integrating traditional and digital finance, especially in the institutional environment.
