JUNE 2026 SURVEY

Cryptocurrency Users Survey in Latin America – Preferences, Behaviors and Adoption by Country (Q1 2025 – Q2 2026)

Track how crypto adoption and user behavior evolved across Latin America with quarterly survey data covering five consecutive waves.

Comprehensive statistics. 18 Latin American markets. Motivations, preferences, adoption index and behaviors by age group (millenials, Gen X, Baby boomers and Seniors). 

Overview

The Cryptocurrency Users Survey in Latin America provides a structured, multi-country dataset analyzing how individuals interact with crypto assets across the region. Updated through JUNE 2026 (Q2 2026), this report delivers a continuous view of market evolution across six quarterly survey waves: Q1 2025, Q2 2025, Q3 2025, Q4 2025, Q1 2026 and Q2 2026.

Rather than a static snapshot, the dataset enables users to track changes in adoption, behavior, and platform dynamics over time, offering a longitudinal perspective on one of the fastest-growing financial ecosystems globally.

What You Will Find in This Report

The report delivers detailed insights into cryptocurrency users across Latin America, including adoption levels, demographic segmentation, usage behavior, and platform preferences. It explores how users engage with crypto for different purposes such as payments, savings, and trading, while also tracking trust levels and evolving motivations.

Each quarterly wave is structured consistently, allowing for direct comparison across time and markets. This makes it possible to identify acceleration trends, behavioral shifts, and emerging patterns at both the country and regional level.

Statistical Note

Sample (6th wave): 12,307 valid responses from 18 Latin American countries.
Sampling: Non-probability, voluntary online participation.
Quality controls: Responses were subject to consistency checks, validation procedures, duplicate-response controls and automated bot-detection measures. Invalid or low-quality responses were excluded from the final dataset.
Statistical reference: Theoretical margins of error are calculated at a 95% confidence level using the conservative p=50% assumption. These figures indicate the statistical precision associated with the achieved sample sizes and should not be interpreted as formal sampling-error estimates because the survey used voluntary, non-probability participation.
LATAM sample: Theoretical MOE: ±0.88 percentage points at 95% confidence, before consideration of non-probability sampling effects.

Because participation was voluntary and the sample was not selected through a probability-based random sampling process, the results should not be interpreted as a statistically representative projection of the entire population of any country or of Latin America as a whole, unless otherwise expressly stated. Self-selection and other potential forms of sampling bias may affect the composition of respondents, and the magnitude of any such effects cannot be reliably quantified through conventional sampling-error calculations.

For reference purposes only, theoretical margins of error may be presented in this report based on the achieved sample size, a 95% confidence level and the conservative assumption of a 50% response distribution. These figures are intended solely to illustrate the statistical precision associated with the number of observations collected under a hypothetical probability-sampling scenario. They are not formal estimates of sampling error and should not be interpreted as establishing a 95% probability that the reported results fall within the stated range of the true population value.

The survey's quality-control procedures are intended to improve the integrity and reliability of the collected responses but cannot eliminate all potential sources of sampling bias or guarantee that the respondent sample perfectly reflects the characteristics of the underlying population.

Country-level results are based on the number of valid responses obtained in each market. Consequently, levels of statistical precision vary by country. Results based on smaller samples should be interpreted with greater caution and should not be considered directly equivalent in statistical robustness to results based on larger samples.

Where regional or Latin American aggregate results are presented, users should also take into account the distribution of responses among countries and any weighting methodology disclosed in the relevant section of the report. The number of respondents from each country does not necessarily correspond to that country's share of the total population or of the relevant target population.

No guarantee of accuracy or completeness. RankingsLatAm makes reasonable efforts to apply appropriate research, validation and quality-control procedures; however, no survey methodology can guarantee that all responses are accurate, complete, unbiased or representative of the broader population. Accordingly, RankingsLatAm does not warrant or guarantee that the survey results precisely reflect actual market conditions, consumer behavior, preferences or opinions in any particular country or region.
