- The 2025 edition gathered 1,800 participants, and next year’s event expects over 2,500 professionals, regulators, and developers.
- Stablecoins doubled their share in Bitso Business transactions during early 2025, signaling increased institutional adoption in Latin America.
Bitso Business, the B2B division of Bitso, confirmed the second edition of the Stablecoin Conference LatAm. The event will take place on June 15 and 16, 2026, at the World Trade Center in Mexico City. The announcement follows the 2025 edition, which brought together more than 1,800 participants from 43 countries and 800 companies. The conference focuses on the role of stablecoins in payments, treasury management, and cross-border operations across Latin America.
According to Bitso Business, stablecoins represented twice the share of total transaction volume in the first half of 2025 compared with the previous period. The company’s report, Stablecoin Landscape in Latin America, analyzed data from more than 1,300 institutional clients and found growing use of stablecoins for corporate treasury and currency exchange purposes. The analysis reflects a broader trend in financial digitization, where companies seek efficient and predictable ways to settle operations across markets.
The 2026 edition is expected to gather over 2,500 participants, expanding its reach to accommodate a wider range of professionals, developers, and regulators. The program includes a main stage with discussions on regulatory frameworks, a Startup Village with live demonstrations and workshops, and exhibition areas designed to encourage business interaction.
He added: “Our experience as a crypto leader in Latin America led us to evolve into a comprehensive investment platform and robust payment infrastructure.”
Global firms such as Visa, PayPal, Tether, Circle, Fireblocks, Solana, Ripple, Bridge, and Worldpay supported the previous conference. Their participation reflected the growing institutional interest in stablecoins, a category of crypto assets whose global capitalization surpassed 300 billion dollars.
Imran Ahmad, managing director of Bitso Business, highlighted that the market’s response confirmed the need for an open discussion about stablecoin adoption. He stated that the upcoming edition will continue to strengthen Latin America’s position in digital finance through dialogue and collaboration among industry participants.
Daniel Vogel, CEO and co-founder of Bitso, emphasized the firm’s evolution toward a comprehensive investment and payments platform.
“We are at a decisive moment for the sector, in which stablecoins are consolidating their role as catalysts for financial transformation throughout Latin America, which coincides perfectly with Bitso’s new era,” said Daniel Vogel, CEO and co-founder of Bitso.
He noted that the company’s eleven-year experience, with more than nine million users and 1,900 institutional clients, supports its role in financial infrastructure development. Vogel described the conference as a space where regional progress connects with global financial dialogue.
“Our track record of more than 11 years, serving more than 9 million users and 1,900 institutional clients, has always been aimed at building the future of finance, especially for a region that needs it. The Stablecoin Conference is a vital extension of that mission. It places Latin America at the center of the global debate on money, demonstrating how innovation born here is transforming finance and payments around the world,” he added.
Registration for sponsorship, media partnerships, and panel participation is now open through the event’s official website. The conference will take place as Mexico hosts both financial leaders and football fans in mid-2026, offering an intersection between technology, regulation, and culture across the Latin American region.
The Growing Risks Behind the Global Expansion of Stablecoins
The expansion of stablecoins has generated both anticipation and uncertainty in global financial circles. Their rapid growth introduces a series of challenges involving technological development, financial stability, and regulatory oversight. The International Monetary Fund addressed these concerns in its Global Financial Stability Report 2025, warning that stablecoins could become substitutes for traditional safe assets and bank deposits.
According to the IMF, stablecoins offer faster and cheaper cross-border transactions, appealing to businesses and individuals seeking efficiency in international payments. However, the institution cautioned that their rise could increase systemic risks. The report pointed to potential scenarios of excessive risk-taking, growing leverage, and mismatched maturities that could expose vulnerabilities in financial markets.
“These trends raise the specter of excessive risk-taking, increased leverage, and maturity mismatch vulnerabilities in the financial system,” the IMF noted in its assessment of the current crypto phenomenon.
Stablecoins have been promoted as a bridge between digital and traditional finance. Their design, which links the value of a token to a reference asset such as the U.S. dollar, seeks to maintain stability. Yet, that very structure depends on consistent reserves and transparent auditing—factors that have raised questions among regulators. Without clear supervision, the line separating a reliable payment instrument from a fragile one remains thin.
Recent events have intensified those concerns. In October, Paxos, the issuer of PayPal USD (PYUSD), mistakenly minted 300 billion units of its stablecoin before quickly reversing the transaction. The incident caused confusion across digital asset circles and drew attention to operational risks in token issuance.
At 3:12 PM EST, Paxos mistakenly minted excess PYUSD as part of an internal transfer. Paxos immediately identified the error and burned the excess PYUSD.
This was an internal technical error. There is no security breach. Customer funds are safe. We have addressed the root…

Hours later, Paxos clarified through its official account on X that the issue stemmed from a technical error, not a security breach. The company stated that all customer funds remained safe and that the underlying cause had been corrected.
