It has been reported that the proportion of stablecoin purchases has surpassed Bitcoin for the first time in Latin America. According to Cointelegraph, local exchange Bitso stated in a report, "Last year, dollar-pegged stablecoins (USDT·USDC) accounted for 40% of total cryptocurrency purchases, while Bitcoin only accounted for 18%. This trend is analyzed to be due to the widespread preference of users choosing stablecoins for asset preservation and as a means of payment amidst hyperinflation and currency devaluation."
