Bitso’s stablecoin platform projects $82 billion annual payment volume by 2025, signalling Latin America's structural shift towards digital financial infrastructure

Thursday, 18 December 2025 8:02PM UTC

Bitso Business anticipates processing $82 billion in annualised total payment volume by 2025, highlighting the accelerating adoption of stablecoin-based infrastructure across Latin America amid increasing institutional interest and regional expansion.

Bitso Business says its stablecoin-powered payments platform is on track to process $82 billion in annualised total payment volume (TPV) in 2025, a figure the company highlighted as a sign of accelerating institutional adoption of stablecoin rails across Latin America. According to a press release emailed to PYMNTS, the B2B arm of digital financial services firm Bitso also reported that real-time domestic payouts in Mexico reached $15.6 billion in annualised volume, underscoring the twin growth of on‑chain and instant‑payment activity in the region. ^[1]^[2]

The company said its suite of services mixes enhanced stablecoin rails for foreign‑exchange and treasury solutions with local payment connectivity and API infrastructure for real‑time settlement and liquidity management. According to Bitso Business materials, the platform enables enterprises to send, receive, convert and hold multiple currencies across markets including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and the United States, bridging fiat and stablecoins through a unified payments API. ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[5]

Bitso emphasised scale and clientele in its announcement, saying more than 1,900 institutional customers now rely on its rails, including marketplaces, remittance providers, creator‑economy platforms, fintechs and digital commerce firms expanding into Latin America. The company framed the milestone as evidence of a structural shift toward stablecoin‑based infrastructure for faster, cheaper and more transparent cross‑border and domestic payments. ^[1]^[2]^[3]

Senior executives repeated that message in the company release. Felipe Vallejo, Bitso chief corporate affairs officer and country manager at Bitso Mexico, said the TPV milestone is “a signal that the global financial system is undergoing a structural shift toward stablecoin-based infrastructure,” while Imran Ahmad, Bitso chief operating officer and general manager at Bitso Business, said the 2025 results “reinforce Bitso Business’s role not just as a regional provider, but as a key payments hub connecting global businesses to the region’s real‑time financial networks.” Those remarks were included in the press release distributed to PYMNTS and in Bitso’s own announcement. ^[1]^[2]

Bitso has been expanding product and partner activity to support that proposition. In September the firm partnered with spend‑management platform Clara to launch stablecoin‑backed payments and corporate cards, a collaboration that allows firms holding stablecoins in Bitso to use those holdings as collateral for Clara’s payment products, the companies said. Separately, Bitso has established a subsidiary, Juno, to issue and manage regionally focused stablecoins, including a Mexican peso stablecoin intended to ease cross‑border flows and local on‑ and off‑ramp activity via Mexico’s SPEI system. According to company announcements and coverage, those moves are intended to embed stablecoins into treasury, FX hedging and payments operations across the region. ^[6]^[5]^[1]

Market context reinforces Bitso’s positioning. Industry reporting and central‑bank commentary point to rapid growth in stablecoin market capitalisation to roughly $230 billion by 2025 and daily trading volumes that place stablecoins at the centre of crypto market activity, with USDT and USDC remaining dominant. Bitso’s regional expansion into Peru and Chile, and its ongoing regulatory engagement in multiple jurisdictions, reflect a broader institutionalisation of stablecoins for payments and treasury use cases in Latin America. According to market reports and company filings, the company processed $6.7 billion in transaction volume in 2024 as it scaled product offerings and geographic reach. ^[4]^[5]^[3]

Bitso Business has also sought to convene the industry; the company presented the Stablecoin Conference 2025 in Mexico City, an event it said would bring more than 1,000 global experts together to debate the role of stablecoins in payments, treasury management and cross‑border operations. The conference attracted industry backers such as Visa and several major crypto infrastructure firms, signalling incumbent and crypto‑native interest in the region’s payments evolution. ^[7]

The claim of $82 billion in annualised TPV and the related growth figures will draw scrutiny from regulators and incumbents as stablecoin usage becomes more deeply integrated into corporate finance. According to PR Newswire and Bitso’s own investor materials, the company says it is engaging with regulators across jurisdictions and emphasises operational reliability and compliance as core elements of its offering; independent verification of long‑run settlement, custody and regulatory soundness will determine how readily traditional corporates shift treasury operations onto stablecoin rails. ^[2]^[3]

The first token to be issued by Juno is a fully-backed Mexican peso stablecoin (MXNB), designed to facilitate cross-border payments and financial transactions in the region.

They are especially popular in developing countries with large unbanked populations or fragile local currencies.
