Amerika Latin (LATAM) melihat volume crypto lebih dari $730 miliar pada tahun 2025, lonjakan 60% tahun-ke-tahun yang membuat wilayah tersebut bertanggung jawab atas sekitar 10% dari aktivitas kripto global.
Pada tahun 2026, pemain institusional mulai menganggap serius kawasan ini, regulasi mengkristal, dan pendorong struktural dari 2025 tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda memudar. Tetapi wilayah ini bukan cerita tunggal, dan 2026 akan menguji apakah momentum saat ini dibangun di atas fundamental yang solid atau optimisme spekulatif.
Fakta singkat
- Pengguna crypto aktif bulanan LATAM tumbuh 18% tahun-ke-tahun (YoY), tiga kali lebih cepat daripada AS.
- Argentina mencapai 12% penetrasi pengguna aktif bulanan, menyumbang lebih dari seperempat aktivitas kripto di kawasan itu.
- Lebih dari 90% arus kripto Brasil sekarang terkait stablecoin.
- Tiga negara LATAM berada di peringkat 20 besar global: Brasil (ke-5), Venezuela (ke-18), Argentina (ke-20).
- Unduhan aplikasi kripto Peru tumbuh 50% pada tahun 2025, dengan 2,9 juta unduhan.
Dari alat kelangsungan hidup hingga infrastruktur keuangan
Amerika Latin tidak merangkul cryptocurrency karena spekulasi. Ia memeluknya karena sistem keuangan tradisional berulang kali mengecewakan orang biasa. Selama 15 tahun terakhir, inflasi tahunan rata-rata di lima ekonomi terbesar di kawasan itu mencapai 13%, dibandingkan dengan hanya 2,3% di AS selama periode yang sama.
Di Venezuela, mencapai 65.000% dalam satu tahun. Di Argentina, itu melebihi 220% pada tahun 2024. Bagi jutaan orang, menyimpan tabungan dalam mata uang lokal adalah tindakan penghancuran diri yang lambat. Stablecoin menjadi respons alami. Aset digital yang dipatok ke dolar AS menawarkan penyimpanan nilai yang andal, transferabilitas tanpa batas, dan akses tanpa rekening bank.
Tidak seperti di Barat, di mana crypto dilihat lebih sebagai instrumen spekulatif, di LATAM itu telah menjadi alat keuangan yang diperlukan. Namun, penggerak adopsi tidak sepenuhnya seragam di seluruh wilayah. Brasil dan Meksiko adalah cerita institusional, didorong oleh partisipasi pasar yang diatur dan pemain keuangan mapan.
Argentina dan Venezuela tetap menjadi permainan penyimpan nilai, dengan crypto berfungsi sebagai lindung nilai langsung terhadap keruntuhan fiat. Dan Peru dan Kolombia adalah pasar yang lebih mencari hasil, di mana crypto menawarkan pengembalian yang tidak dapat ditandingi oleh rekening tabungan tradisional.
Seberapa cepat LATAM mengadopsi crypto?
Volume crypto on-chain LATAM naik 60% tahun-ke-tahun pada tahun 2025. Wilayah ini telah mencatat hampir $1.5 triliun dalam volume kumulatif sejak pertengahan 2022, memuncak pada rekor $87.7 miliar dalam satu bulan pada Desember 2024.
Pengguna crypto aktif bulanan di seluruh LATAM juga tumbuh 18% pada tahun 2025, tiga kali lebih cepat daripada AS.
Stablecoin adalah kendaraan utama yang mendorong adopsi ini. Dari $730 miliar yang diterima pada tahun 2025, $324 miliar bergerak melalui transaksi stablecoin, lonjakan 89% tahun-ke-tahun. Di Brasil, lebih dari 90% dari semua arus kripto terkait stablecoin, dan di Argentina, stablecoin menyumbang lebih dari 60% aktivitas.
Ke depan, pasar cryptocurrency Amerika Latin diperkirakan akan mencapai $442.6 miliar pada tahun 2033, tumbuh pada tingkat tahunan gabungan 10.93% dari 2025, menurut IMARC Group.
Bagi para pedagang, kecepatan adopsi kurang penting sebagai berita utama daripada apa yang mendorongnya: wilayah 650 juta orang membangun infrastruktur keuangan paralel secara real time, dengan stablecoin sebagai fondasinya.
Pergantian kelembagaan
Untuk sebagian besar sejarah crypto LATAM, adopsi dilakukan dari bawah ke atas. Pengguna ritel yang tidak memiliki rekening bank atau kekurangan bank mendorong volume melalui bursa lokal. Gambaran itu sekarang berubah di ujung atas pasar.
Pada Februari 2026, Crypto Finance Group, bagian dari operator pertukaran global terkemuka Deutsche Börse Group, mengumumkan ekspansinya ke Amerika Latin, menargetkan bank, manajer aset, dan perantara keuangan yang mencari infrastruktur penyimpanan dan perdagangan tingkat lembaga.
Bank tradisional dan fintech mengikutinya. Nubank sekarang memberi penghargaan kepada pelanggan karena memegang USDC. Bursa B3 Brasil menyetujui XRP dan SOL ETF spot pertama di dunia, di depan AS, pada tahun 2025. Pertukaran terpusat, termasuk Mercado Bitcoin, NovaDAX, dan Binance, secara kolektif telah mendaftarkan lebih dari 200 pasangan perdagangan berdenominasi BRL baru sejak awal 2024.
Pada Maret 2025, fintech Brasil Meliuz menjadi perusahaan publik pertama di negara itu yang meluncurkan strategi akumulasi Bitcoin, sekarang memegang 320 BTC.
“Adopsi Crypto di LATAM sudah berskala global. Apa yang dibutuhkan pasar sekarang adalah tata kelola tingkat institusi, dan itulah mengapa kami ada di sini,” — Stijn Vander Straeten, CEO Crypto Finance Group
Kasus penggunaan pengiriman uang kripto
Amerika Latin menerima ratusan miliar dolar setiap tahun dari pekerja di luar negeri, menjadikan pengiriman uang salah satu kasus penggunaan kripto yang paling konkret dan terukur di wilayah ini. Layanan transfer tradisional mengenakan biaya rata-rata 6,2% per transaksi. Pada transfer US$300, itu kira-kira US $20 dalam biaya.
Infrastruktur berbasis blockchain secara lebih luas menawarkan pengurangan biaya yang dramatis. Bitcoin membawa biaya sekitar US $3,12 per US $100 yang ditransfer. Sementara alternatif yang lebih murah seperti infrastruktur XRP atau Ethereum layer-2 dapat menguranginya menjadi kurang dari US $0,01.
Bagi seorang pekerja migran yang mengirim pulang $1.500 ke Peru, beralih dari bank lama menghemat lebih dari upah mingguan rata-rata Peru dalam biaya saja.
Lingkungan peraturan kripto LATAM
Variabel yang paling menentukan apakah LATAM memenuhi potensi 2026-nya adalah regulasi crypto. Dan di sini, gambarnya benar-benar bercampur.
Brasil memimpin wilayah dengan Undang-Undang Aset Virtual, yang mencakup pemisahan aset, lisensi VASP, persyaratan AML/KYC, dan standar modal. Ini juga menerapkan Aturan Perjalanan untuk transfer VASP domestik, yang mulai berlaku pada Februari 2026. Namun, beberapa proposal yang lebih kontroversial, termasuk batas US $100.000 pada transaksi stablecoin lintas batas dan larangan transfer dompet self-custodia, tetap berada di bawah konsultasi aktif.
Undang-Undang Fintech 2018 Meksiko tetap menjadi salah satu pengakuan formal paling awal di dunia atas aset virtual. Undang-Undang Fintech 2023 Chili menetapkan lisensi untuk bursa, dompet, dan penerbit stablecoin, secara resmi mengakui aset digital sebagai 'uang digital'.
Bolivia membalikkan larangan kripto selama satu dekade pada Juni 2024 dengan mengotorisasi transaksi aset digital yang diatur. Argentina memperkenalkan pendaftaran pertukaran wajib pada tahun 2025. Dan El Salvador terus memperluas inisiatif ekonomi token meskipun menghapus status tender legal Bitcoin.
Sepuluh negara di seluruh wilayah sekarang memiliki semacam kerangka kerja kripto formal. Tetapi bagi para pedagang, divergensi peraturan tetap menjadi risiko nyata, dan mengingat Brasil menerima hampir sepertiga dari semua volume kripto LATAM, setiap pembalikan kebijakan yang signifikan di sana dapat memiliki konsekuensi yang sangat besar.
Apa yang harus diperhatikan pedagang
Momentum kelembagaan Brasil adalah tren struktural yang paling signifikan. Dengan volume on-chain $318.8 miliar pada tahun 2025, Brasil secara efektif adalah pasar LATAM.
Hasil konsultasi stablecoin Brasil dapat memiliki pengaruh besar. Pembatasan stablecoin asing dalam pembayaran domestik akan secara langsung berdampak pada kelas aset yang paling banyak diperdagangkan di pasar dominan kawasan itu.
Argentina adalah permainan volatilitas. Penetrasi pengguna aktif bulanan sebesar 12% dan 5.4 juta unduhan aplikasi crypto pada tahun 2025 menandakan keterlibatan ritel yang mendalam dan berkembang.
Kolombia adalah pasar peringatan dini yang harus diperhatikan. Depresiasi peso 5,3% pada tahun 2025 dan krisis fiskal yang semakin dalam mendorong arus masuk stablecoin dalam pola yang mencerminkan lintasan Argentina di tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Jika situasi makro Kolombia semakin memburuk, adopsi crypto dapat dipercepat.
Ada juga risiko konsentrasi pertukaran yang dimainkan. Pertukaran kripto Binance adalah pertukaran utama untuk lebih dari 50% pengguna kripto LATAM. Jika bursa menghadapi tindakan regulasi, gangguan operasional, atau guncangan kompetitif, itu dapat memiliki dampak pasar yang sangat besar.
Intinya
Pasar crypto Amerika Latin telah memasuki fase baru. Penggerak struktural yang menyebabkan permintaan crypto awal di kawasan ini belum hilang: inflasi, pengiriman uang, pengecualian keuangan, dan ketidakstabilan mata uang semuanya masih berperan.
Apa yang telah berubah adalah lapisan yang dibangun di atasnya. Infrastruktur kelembagaan, kerangka peraturan, adopsi perbendaharaan perusahaan, dan modal pertukaran global mengalir ke wilayah yang, sampai saat ini, sebagian besar mandiri.
Pertumbuhan volume Brasil mendekati -250% pada tahun 2025 dan posisinya menerima hampir sepertiga dari semua kripto LATAM adalah perkembangan pasar yang menentukan. Lintasan peraturannya, keputusan kebijakan stablecoin, dan jalur ETF akan secara efektif mengatur nada untuk wilayah tersebut pada tahun 2026.
Bagi pedagang, angka pertumbuhan utama adalah nyata, tetapi begitu juga risiko konsentrasi, ketidakpastian peraturan, dan divergensi tingkat negara yang berada di bawahnya.
US economic data revealed last night shows that the country’s GDP has shrunk by 0.9%, although some are remaining positive that a recession may still be avoided. Despite the worrying figures, Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, outlined his belief that due to low unemployment figures of 3.6% and a strong market for jobs with 11 million job openings that there may be a 'soft landing'. Joe Biden commented, “It’s no surprise that the economy is slowing down as the Federal Reserve acts to bring down inflation.” More US CPI data is expected to be announced tonight.
In response to the GDP figure, the US indices had another green day with the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq, and the S&P500 all rising 1.03%, 1.08%, and 1.21% respectively. In terms of share price movement, Meta’s stock price dipped 5.22% as it posted its first-ever quarterly drop in revenue, signaling how interest rate hikes have been impacting growth companies. The data also followed through to the Australian market with the yield on 3-year government bonds falling to 3.1%.
The ASX200 also continued its momentum for the week as it pushed higher again on Thursday. Brent Crude Oil had a mixed day ending the day flat at $107.58. Gold continued to bounce off its support zone and climbed up 1.25% and Natural Gas fell 4.66% as it continues to pull back from its recent highs dropping 4.66%.
FOREX and Cryptocurrency The USD dropped sharply as the GDP figures were announced. It recovered briefly, before selling back down, closing towards the lowest price of the day, a total drop of 0.28%. Bitcoin and Ethereum also gained momentum as money continued to flow back into risk assets, with the latter jumping to its highest level since the middle of July.
ETHUSD closed at $1726 and Bitcoin at $23,860.

In the midst of the Russian, Ukraine crisis, there are huge ramifications that affect us all in the global market. Energy is a critically important export. Russian oil and gas exports make up a fifth of Russia's economy and half of its earnings from exports.
The country is the European Union's biggest oil trading partner, according to the latest data from Eurostat. Russia also ranks 5 th in the world for oil consumption, accounting for about 3.7% of the world's total consumption of 97,103,871 barrels per day. They are also ranked 3 rd in oil production, which is the most important factor when it comes to costs, sitting close to the oil powerhouses of United States and Saudi Arabia.
They are also some way ahead of China, who sits in 4 th lagging behind Russia by a wide margin of 6 million barrels per day (Fig.1). As you can imagine any disruption to any country in this list on a normal day, would trigger a price movement. So a war and subsequent sanctions on a country who controls so much consumption and production of the precious liquid would make more than a ripple.
Global benchmark April Brent crude climbed $3.06, or 3.1%, to end at $100.99 a barrel. The contract, which expired at the end of the session, settled at its highest since September 2014, posting a gain of 10.7% for the month. West Texas Intermediate crude for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose $4.13, or 4.5%, to settle at $95.72 a barrel.
The front-month contract finished at the highest since August 2014, up 8.6% for the month, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Latest Price Action Over the last few days, we have seen Oil prices finished higher each closing day, a sharp increase over night of 9.72% to start today’s session at $106.33 (Fig.2). Fig. 2 WTI Oil followed suit and had a jump of 11.5%, a sharp increase over night to start today’s session at $106.75 (Fig.3).
Fig. 3 The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. and other major oil-consuming countries were weighing the release of 70 million barrels of oil from emergency stockpiles in response to surging crude prices. This is to try to stabilize the oil prices and make up the supply that Russia would normally deliver pre sanctions. It’s important to tread carefully when trading assets such as these commodities, which are driven by Geopolitics, unforeseen supply and demand levels and corporate institutions around the world who have their own agendas in mind when thinking of their bottom line.

Last week, Russia took a step that not many people thought it would take – they invaded Ukraine. Even though the tensions have been building in the region since the annexation of Crimea in February 2014, not many people thought Vladimir Putin would take the step to invade a sovereign nation. Five days on from the start of the invasion, we have already seen countries around the world condemn Russia’s actions and announce tough sanctions against the largest country in the world.
None of those have yet made any difference to their actions, as they continue their invasion. However, their actions have already impacted their economy - and it will most likely get worse. Swift action from the West Over the weekend, the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and other countries agreed to remove a number of Russian banks from The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system, an international payment system which is used by financial institutions around the world. "We commit to ensuring that selected Russian banks are removed from the SWIFT messaging system.
This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally," the European Commission said in a statement following the announcement. The latest move will have a drastic impact on the Russian economy, which is the 11 th largest in the world according to the World Bank data. It is worth pointing out that only one other country has ever been cut off from the SWIFT system – Iran.
The move resulted in Iran losing half of its oil export revenues and 30% of foreign trade. The central bank reacts On Monday, the Bank of Russia announced its key interest rate from 9.5% to 20% to protect the Ruble, as the pressure mounts on the Russian economy following the latest round of sanctions. ''External conditions for the Russian economy have drastically changed. The increase of the key rate will ensure a rise in deposit rates to levels needed to compensate for the increased depreciation and inflation risks.
This is needed to support financial and price stability and protect the savings of citizens from depreciation,'' the Central Bank said in a statement on their website. ''Further key rate decisions will be made taking into account risks posed by external and domestic conditions and the reaction of financial markets, as well as actual and expected inflation movements relative to the target and economic developments over forecast period,'' the statement continued. The Central Bank of Russian Federation interest changes since July 2020 Financial markets Last week we saw the Moscow stock exchange, the MOEX index, plummet by 45% - to a new record low. The index recovered some of the losses last Friday when it was up by 20%.
On Monday, it was announced that the exchange will not open and the Russian Central Bank said that the operating hours of the exchange would be announced on 1 March 2022 before 9:00 Moscow time. MOEX Russia Index The Ruble The Russian currency has been in free fall since the conflict began – reaching the lowest level ever against the US Dollar. US Dollar was trading at around 76 level at the beginning of February vs. the Russian Ruble.
USD/RUB was trading 107.7000 level on Monday – up by around 27%. USD/RUB With the conflict showing no signs of getting resolved any time soon, we will most likely see more impact on the Russian and world economy in the coming weeks and months.

All prices in this article will be in USD unless otherwise stated. Rio Tinto Group is an Anglo-Australian multinational and the world's second-largest metals and mining corporation, behind BHP, producing iron ore, copper, diamonds, gold and uranium. Rio Tinto made history last week by posting the second biggest profit in Australian corporate history, the biggest belonging to BHP.
They have decided to reward their shareholders with Australia’s biggest ever dividend worth $16.8 billion, which is roughly $23 billion AUD. The $21.4 billion of underlying earnings for 2021 was the biggest in all of Rio Tinto’s 149 year history. The achievement has allowed a dividend payment of $4.79 per share.
The final and special dividends took Rio Tinto’s total dividends for the year to a record-breaking $10.40 per share. The total dividends paid by Rio Tinto for the year is almost doubled the previous year’s $5.57. The greatest profit recorded by an Australian company was BHP.
They set this record in 2011 with a recorded $21.68 billion in underlying profit. Comparing both companies, BHP’s record profit was when the Australian dollar was much stronger than today. This means the profit announced by Rio Tinto would be much bigger than BHP, in Australian dollars, $22.5 billion vs $23 billion AUD.
This does not take into account inflation. Rio Tinto’s great result was largely attributed to its most important commodity, iron ore. However, the decade high prices for copper and aluminium have also bolstered their profits.
The shareholder returns unleashed by Rio Tinto over the past four years rank as the four biggest in the company’s history, meaning shareholders in the miner are enjoying a golden era of returns. The “golden era” was initially built on the proceeds of asset divestments, however, Australian mining companies have been fortunate due to rival mining companies in Brazil suffering massive dam failures in 2019. Australia was able to capitalise on the weak iron ore supply in the aftermath.
The strong operating environment for mining companies like Rio Tinto has only continued since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic had prompted governments to announce stimulus spending on infrastructure which drove strong demand for the raw materials which were produced by the likes of Rio Tinto and BHP. Most of Rio’s record setting dividend will be paid to shareholders outside of Australia; the company’s biggest shareholder is Chinese state-owned entity Chinalco while most investors own the stock through the London Stock Exchange.
All in all, the mining industry is currently experiencing a strong year. Rio Tinto, being one of the biggest players, has set the benchmark for other companies in the industry. The strong start to the year is a good indication as to where the industry is going.
