From August 27 to 28, 2025, Bitso held the first stablecoin conference in Mexico City, setting a new milestone for the development of fintech in Latin America. The conference attracted fintech leaders, blockchain experts, and policymakers from various countries to discuss the innovative applications of stablecoins in the Latin American region.
The background of the conference is in the Latin American region, where traditional financial systems face issues such as inadequate coverage, high cross-border payment costs, and frequent currency fluctuations. The emergence of stablecoins provides a potential solution to these problems. Through stablecoins, businesses and individuals can quickly and securely complete cross-border transactions while reducing the risks brought by exchange rate fluctuations, thereby promoting trade and investment.
The application scenarios of stablecoins in Latin America are rich and diverse. In cross-border payments, many companies have begun to use stablecoins for salary payments, supply chain payments, and international trade settlements. In corporate financial management, stablecoins can achieve real-time settlement, automated reconciliation, and reduced transaction costs. Moreover, with the popularity of digital wallets and mobile payments, individual users can also conveniently carry out daily consumption and remittances, enhancing the accessibility of financial services.
The core topics discussed at the conference include the decentralization and efficiency enhancement of payment systems, as well as the adaptation of the regulatory environment and compliance building. Experts point out that the development of stablecoins must balance innovation and compliance, ensuring user fund safety, transaction transparency, and establishing a trustworthy financial ecosystem. At the same time, regulatory bodies are actively formulating policies to provide a clear legal framework for digital currency innovation.
Bitso showcased its innovative initiatives at the conference, including the launch of a stablecoin-based corporate payment solution, the expansion of services to the Chile and Peru markets, and the exploration of digital asset custody and financial instrument portfolios. These initiatives not only enhance the efficiency of cross-border payments for enterprises but also inject new vitality into the Latin American fintech ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Bitso plans to continue promoting the use of stablecoins in the Latin American region, supporting financial inclusion and the development of the digital economy. As more businesses and individuals join the digital currency ecosystem, the financial market in Latin America will undergo profound changes. Stablecoins will become a bridge connecting the global economy, while also promoting the digitalization, transparency, and efficiency of regional economic development, opening new possibilities for fintech innovation.
