Stablecoins are no longer a sideshow in Latin America. CoinTurk News reports that stablecoins now account for 40% of crypto purchases in the region, and that they have “surpassed BTC.”
The CoinTurk text ties the shift to a practical concern. It says users are moving toward $USDC and USDt as a way to protect savings from inflation.
That framing matters, because it describes stablecoins being used for purchasing and saving decisions, not just speculative trades. Still, the source snippet does not provide methodology, time period, or the size of the underlying dataset.
For readers tracking stablecoin adoption, CoinTurk’s claim is a useful signal. But it remains a single, high-level statistic from a short report, so treat it as directional rather than definitive until more context shows up.
