Research recently released by Chainalysis recognised Mexico is also an important country to watch for its embrace of cryptocurrency-based remittances .
Remittances represent an important area of finance that crypto advocates have long touted as one the technology can make faster and cheaper .
Mexico is the world ’ s second-biggest receiver of remittances , with an estimated $ 61 billion flowing into the country from overseas per year , mostly from the United States .
Daniel Vogel , CEO , Bitso , is quoted in the Chainalysis report as saying his company processed over $ 3.3 billion in crypto remittances sent from the US to Mexico in 2022 – a sum said to represent 5.4 % of the total market .
But where the report reveals nearly every LATAM country devoting a greater share of transaction volume to centralized exchanges than the global average , Mexico is the lone exception .
The Chainalysis stats show Mexico ’ s platform breakdown is more in line with global averages – with nearly half of all volume being processed through DEXes .
This , Chainalysis says , is likely the reason why Mexico devotes a higher share of purchasing activity to altcoins , as DEXes list a far greater number of assets than their centralized counterparts .
Overall , the Chainalysis report recognizes cryptocurrency has become an important part of day-today life in many countries throughout the LATAM region – and in particular those facing currency devaluation . p
