After the downfall of FTX, the Caribbean\u2019s cryptocurrency landscape entered a phase of doubt and decreased engagement, leading to a loss of trust in crypto platforms. However, starting in late 2023, there has been a notable revival in such activities across the region.<\/p>\n
Prominent blockchain analysis company Chainalysis said that users in the region increasingly favoring well-known centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Coinbase and Binance.<\/p>\n
The latest edition of Chainalysis\u2019 2024 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report, shared with CryptoPotato<\/em>, highlighted a significant uptick in overseas clients establishing legal entities in the Web3 and blockchain sectors within the Cayman Islands, in particular, over the past year.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n These ventures typically involve Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions and span a variety of uses, such as artificial intelligence (AI), cross-chain infrastructure, gaming, and data\/cloud storage. This was revealed by David Templeman, who is a Specialist Financial Investigator for the Cayman Islands Bureau of Financial Investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fallout from the various collapses (FTX, TerraUSD\/Luna, Celsius Network, and Three Arrows Capital) has placed pressure on the industry to learn from mistakes and put in place better oversight and guardrails. There is a strong community of blockchain and Web3 companies within the Islands both physically present and legally domiciled here.\u201d<\/p>\n Chainalysis believes that this resurgence in crypto activity in the Caribbean could potentially solidify the sub-region as a key hub for adoption in the future.<\/p>\n In general, Latin America is the second fastest-growing region for cryptocurrency adoption, with a year-over-year (YoY) growth rate of around 42.5%. Chainalysis found that the most widely used service among Latin Americans is centralized exchanges (CEXs), utilized by 68.7% of users, which is slightly below the rate in North America.<\/p>\n Institutional and professional investors, particularly those transacting over $10,000, primarily drive the region\u2019s transaction value.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Argentina<\/a> leads with an estimated cryptocurrency value received of $91.1 billion, marginally ahead of Brazil at approximately $90.3 billion. Argentina ranks as a leader in the stablecoin market within Latin America, accounting for 61.8% of stablecoin transaction volume. This figure also surpasses Brazil\u2019s share of 59.8% and is significantly higher than the global average of 44.7%.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Brazil\u2019s institutional crypto activities reflect a renewed interest from major financial players, as the monthly value of transactions exceeding $1 million increased by roughly 29.2% between the last two quarters of 2023 and about 48.4% from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024.<\/p>\n Additionally, Venezuela<\/a> has slowly emerged as one of Latin America\u2019s fastest-growing crypto markets, witnessing a year-over-year growth of 110%, which far exceeds that of any other country in the region, despite the uncertainties surrounding the Maduro regime.<\/p>\n Interestingly, DeFi is another aspect of cryptocurrency growth in Venezuela. While centralized services have dominated the value received since 2022, there has been a growing interest in DeFi, especially noticeable by late 2023.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The post Caribbean\u2019s Revival Mirrors the Growing Adoption in Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the downfall of FTX, the Caribbean\u2019s cryptocurrency landscape entered a phase of doubt and decreased engagement, leading to a loss of trust in crypto platforms.
