REDFi's Crypto Conference Tackles Latin America's Hyperinflation and Banking Gaps with Blockchain Solutions

REDFi, a Panama-based payment platform, has announced its role as the presenting sponsor for Blockchain Jungle 2025, the largest cryptocurrency and blockchain conference in Latin America, set to take place at the Costa Rica Convention Center on November 8-9, 2025. The event is expected to draw over 6,000 attendees from more than 50 countries, featuring 200+ speakers, including Bitcoin pioneers like Peter Todd and Phil Zimmermann. The conference aims to bridge traditional finance and crypto, showcasing innovations in decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, and cross-border payment solutions.

The event's significance is underscored by Latin America's growing role in global crypto adoption. Countries like Argentina and Venezuela, grappling with hyperinflation and capital controls, are increasingly turning to stablecoins and blockchain-based services for financial inclusion, Cointelegraph reports. For instance, Argentina's annual inflation rate exceeding 100% has driven demand for U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins like USDC and USDT. Meanwhile, platforms like REDFi and dLocal are addressing regional banking gaps by enabling seamless fiat-crypto transactions; dLocal's recent partnership with Alchemy Pay, for example, allows instant bank transfers for crypto purchases in Argentina, leveraging local payment rails to reduce costs and friction, according to FinanceFeeds.

Blockchain Jungle 2025 will highlight these innovations through dedicated tracks on DeFi, Web3, and institutional-grade crypto solutions. The conference will also feature the REDFi Whale Lounge, an exclusive space for accredited investors and protocol founders to facilitate deals. Last year's edition generated over $50 million in investments, underscoring the event's role as a catalyst for regional and global crypto collaboration. Additionally, the Trading Jungle by Bybit will offer attendees real-time trading demonstrations, covering strategies for Bitcoin, altcoins, and DeFi yield optimization.

The conference aligns with broader trends in crypto adoption. According to a TRM Labs report, South Asia led global growth in 2025 with an 80% surge in adoption, while the U.S. dominated in transaction volume, exceeding $1 trillion. The report also noted that stablecoins, now accounting for 30% of all crypto transactions, have become critical for remittances and inflation hedging in regions with unstable fiat currencies. Latin America's unique challenges—such as the 210 million unbanked population and a $150 billion remittance market—position it as a fertile ground for blockchain-driven financial solutions.

Government officials and regulators from across Latin America will also participate, discussing frameworks for crypto regulation and cross-border payments. Panama's progressive stance on crypto, combined with Costa Rica's crypto-friendly policies—including no capital gains tax on crypto profits—highlights the region's potential as a global crypto hub.
