Bitso Business Announces Milestone: $82 Billion in Stablecoin Payments Processed During 2025

The Facts

Bitso, one of the largest Latam-focused cryptocurrency exchanges, has reached record levels in processing stablecoin payments in the region.

The platform reported having processed $82 billion in 2025 through Bitso Business, the business-to-business (B2B) arm of the company, using stablecoins. This milestone makes it the first and only platform to reach this kind of volume settled in Latam.

The number is well over the gross domestic product (GDP) of over 100 economies, and is equivalent to each adult in the U.S. making a $250 purchase on the platform.

The Mexican market was one of the largest contributors to reaching this goal, as the company processed nearly $15.6 billion in 2025, positioning itself as one of the main enablers of stablecoin payments in Mexico.

Bitso’s grab on the Mexican market lies in its on-ramping capabilities, offering several advantages, including instant confirmation, minimal costs, multi-language support, and enterprise-grade reliability to its customers.

Why It Is Relevant

Bitso’s growth in the region shows there is a large opportunity to use stablecoins for both local payments and international settlements in Latam, a market that is still ripe for its taking.

Felipe Vallejo, Bitso Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Country Manager at Bitso Mexico, framed this as the initial stages of a shift from traditional payment system rails toward stablecoins.

“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,” he stressed.

Looking Forward

Bitso expects these volumes to continue surging in the near term, as Latam has become “one of the fastest-growing markets for stablecoin-based financial infrastructure,” according to Imran Ahmad, Bitso COO and General Manager at Bitso Business.

To keep growing in 2026, Bitso will strengthen its service offering, focusing on connecting with local payment structures, offering efficient cross-border settlements, and allowing easy integration with other business platforms.
