Stablecoin Conference 2025: Global Momentum Meets Local Impact in Mexico City
Last week, Mexico City hosted the first ever Stablecoin Conference by Bitso, bringing together over a thousand attendees from across the world. The event was a unique mix: large enough to attract the major players across payments, infrastructure, and DeFi, yet intimate enough that real, candid conversations could happen in the hallways, over coffee, and between sessions.
For those of us building in stablecoin infrastructure, the conference was a reminder that the ecosystem is not just about technology. It is about people's trust and shared vision.
The Global Ecosystem in One Room
The conference brought together infrastructure providers, fintech founders, payments leaders, and protocol teams, all exchanging perspectives on where stablecoins are headed.
Notably, there was also a presence of Web2 payments providers. Large, established players came to learn, observe, and understand how stablecoins could create new opportunities for their businesses. Their curiosity and engagement showed just how far the stablecoin conversation has come. What was once a niche crypto discussion is now a topic shaping the future of global payments.
On Stage: Stablecoins Use Cases in LatAm
Our cofounder, Morgan Williams, spoke on the panel Stablecoins Use Cases in LatAm: What's Real, What's New, and What's Next.
The discussion centered on three critical themes shaping adoption in the region:
- User Experience and Interface: Stablecoin adoption will not scale without intuitive design. For everyday users, simplicity matters as much as security.
- Transparency: Clear, verifiable flows of value are non negotiable. Businesses and consumers alike need confidence in the rails they are using.
- Regulation: With Latin America moving toward clearer frameworks, the balance between innovation and compliance will determine which solutions succeed long term.
A key point raised in the panel is that Latin America is not a monolith. Each country has its own regulatory environment, unique use cases, and specific problems that stablecoins can help solve. What works in Argentina may not work in Bolivia, but could work in Mexico or Colombia. Success in the region requires understanding these differences and tailoring solutions accordingly.
These themes are not abstract. They are the foundations that determine whether stablecoins fulfill their promise as reliable tools for payments, savings, and trade.
Why Mexico and LatAm Matters
Exports and remittances are lifelines across Latin America. Many economies in the region depend heavily on these flows to support households and stabilize local markets. Stablecoins offer the possibility of making these critical transactions cheaper, faster, and more transparent.
Mexico illustrates this vividly. The country is the second largest recipient of remittances in the world. In 2024, remittances reached more than 60 billion dollars, representing close to 4 percent of Mexico’s GDP. For millions of families, these inflows are not supplemental income but the foundation of their financial lives.
Stablecoins represent a chance to lower costs for cross border transfers, preserve more value for families on the receiving end, and help businesses engaged in export trade settle more efficiently. Holding this conference in Mexico City was not just symbolic. It was a recognition that Mexico and the broader region are at the center of the global conversation about how stablecoins can drive real economic impact.
Continuing the Dialogue Off Stage
The conversations did not stop at the panel. Morgan also sat down with El Economista, one of Mexico’s most influential financial outlets, to dive deeper into why stablecoins matter for Mexico and the region.
In the interview, topics ranged from the role of remittances in everyday family life to how stablecoins can streamline payroll and trade, as well as the challenges fintechs face with trust and compliance. Morgan also highlighted lessons from other markets, such as Africa’s rapid adoption of mobile money and Asia’s use of stablecoins in backend treasury operations. Finally, the discussion looked ahead to a future where stablecoins are part of the everyday financial infrastructure in Mexico, appearing in the apps people already use without needing to be crypto experts.

Looking Ahead
Walking away from the conference, one thing was clear. Stablecoins are no longer theoretical. The builders, the infrastructure providers, and even Web2 payments leaders who gathered in Mexico City are shaping the financial rails of the future.
