🌎 The next 1 billion users will come to crypto not for trading, but through real-world use cases — payments, income-generating products, asset tokenization, and AI.

🌎 In Latin America, users are increasingly exchanging traditional money for "digital dollars" — in 2025, USDT and USDC accounted for 40% of all cryptocurrency purchases, while Bitcoin accounted for only 18%.

Due to inflation and the fall of local currencies, people buy stablecoins not for trading, but as a more understandable way to preserve savings in dollars.
