ChainCatcher reports that, according to Argentina-based crypto exchange Lemon’s annual report, Latin America’s monthly active users will grow three times faster than in the United States by 2025. The region’s digital asset reception volume will exceed $730 billion for the year, a year-over-year increase of over 60%, accounting for 10% of the global total.
There are clear regional differences: Brazil leads in capital volume with over $318.8 billion received, nearly a 250% annual increase, mainly driven by institutional trading and integration of local payment systems. Argentina, on the other hand, ranks first in the proportion of monthly active users per capita, with a penetration rate of 12% of the total population, accounting for more than a quarter of regional activity.
The report points out that users in high-inflation economies like Argentina and Venezuela tend to use cryptocurrencies as a store of value. USDT has become widely used in daily transactions in Venezuela. More stable markets such as Peru and Colombia focus more on financial returns. Stablecoins are seen as the most critical factor driving regional adoption, with continued rapid growth into 2025.

When AI starts paying for itself: a 34-year dormant code is triggering the machine economy
Author: Clow, Plain Language Blockchain
An AI wrote a piece of code that requires data for verification.
It sent an HTTP request, and the server returned a number: 402.
Then, it paid $0.001 using USDC. Less than a second later, the data was back.
This transaction involved no account, no password, no bank card, no KYC. The entire process involved no human participation.
This is no longer science fiction. By the end of 2025, the x402 protocol will have processed over 100 million such transactions; in the first 30 days of this year alone, another 15 million.
The "Payment Code" that slept for thirty years
In 1990, when drafting the HTTP protocol, the creators specifically reserved a spot for status code 402: Payment Required.
The meaning is straightforward—"Payment is required to proceed."
