Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Dominates 71.8% of Latin American Blockchain Activity in June 2025

Ethereum remains the dominant force in Latin American blockchain activity, with the network processing 75.6% of regional transactions from June 2024 to June 2025. As of June 2025 alone, Ethereum’s share stood at 71.8%, underscoring its entrenched role in the region’s crypto ecosystem. This dominance is attributed to Ethereum’s support for widely used dollar-linked stablecoins like USDT and USDC, as well as local currency-backed tokens. The platform’s institutional credibility, including regulated entry and custody services, further reinforces its position. Regional Ethereum-focused events such as ETHLatam also contribute to the network’s growing influence [1].

Stablecoins play a central role in the adoption of blockchain in Latin America. They are widely used for preserving value against high inflation, facilitating cross-border remittances, and bypassing government-imposed transfer limits. Local stablecoin transactions under $1 million have grown by 40%, and Brazil’s central bank reports that stablecoins account for 70% of tracked crypto activity in the region. This practical utility helps bridge traditional finance with blockchain, making stablecoins a key entry point for new users [1].

Polygon is emerging as a strong second player in the Latin American blockchain landscape. The network’s activity share rose from 11% annually to 20.6% in June 2025, driven by corporate partnerships. Collaborations with Mercado Libre, Nubank, and Coca-Cola enabled pilot programs in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, expanding the use cases for blockchain in the region. This strategic expansion contrasts with the 8% annual decline in Polygon’s activity from other networks like Arbitrum and Avalanche [1].

Ethereum’s daily transaction volume has also seen significant growth, increasing by 44% from early 2024 to early 2025. Base, a secondary network developed by Coinbase, saw 36% growth during the same period. Base’s integration of traditional and decentralized finance, alongside low-cost USDC transfers, has helped attract retail users. The network held a 4.2% activity share in June 2025, highlighting its potential to support broader crypto adoption [1].

The rise of Ethereum and stablecoins in Latin America reflects a broader shift toward blockchain-based financial tools. Analysts note that the region’s evolving financial infrastructure makes it particularly receptive to stablecoin-driven use cases, including remittances and asset management. As institutional and corporate adoption continues, Ethereum appears well positioned to remain the primary infrastructure for blockchain innovation in Latin America [4].
