Venezuela's crypto economy doubles to $39.1 billion, outpacing Latin America's largest markets

  • Activity rose 107.2% to $39.1 billion in the year to June 30, 2026
  • Brazil leads the region at $252.5 billion, Argentina at $88.5 billion
  • Crypto outflows from Venezuela jumped 891.7% after Maduro's arrest
  • Latin America's crypto economy grew 9.8% to $593.8 billion
Why it matters: The data shows stablecoins are becoming a primary payment tool in countries with currency crises, not just a speculative asset.
