cryptocurrencies

Globally, the use of cryptocurrencies is on the rise. In Latin America there has been an increase in the use and awareness of new digital currencies.

There are different ways of looking at the causes of the increase in the use and acceptance of cryptocurrencies in Latin America: accessibility due to their anonymity; the security they generate among citizens due to the economic crises in their countries; and the incentives they offer to evade institutions.

The depreciation of the dollar due to expansive monetary policies is leading to this currency being abandoned as a reserve currency in some countries and, above all, is in the process of opening a large market for these cryptocurrencies.
