A vast majority of Latin American

users—95%—plan to expand their holdings in 2025, according to a Binance Research survey of more than 10,000 investors in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

The findings show that 40.1% of respondents are expecting to buy more crypto within the next three months, 15.3% are looking to do so in the next six months, and 39.7% within 12 months. Only 4.9% have no plans to keep on investing this year.

Latin America led the world in crypto adoption in 2024, growing by 116%, according to research from payments firm Triple-A quoted in the report. The region now has 55 million cryptocurrency users, making up nearly 10% of total cryptocurrency users.

This rapid expansion has been fueled by rising asset prices, regulatory advancements, and new financial products like spot

-traded funds (ETFs). Brazil has just last week become the first country to approve a spot XRP ETF.

Market performance has also bolstered investor confidence. “Latin America is a rapidly expanding region for the crypto sector, and the results of this research reinforce what we have observed in our operations,” Binances regional VP for Latin America, Guilherme Nazar, said.

Binances research shows that half of those inquired already use cryptocurrencies for over a year, with most entering the space expecting significant returns and searching for financial freedom.

Portfolio diversification, privacy, and protecting their money were also quoted as motives to invest in the space.
