According to @JKronbichler, conversations with friends in Brazil show that even non-crypto investors are using stablecoins in a volatile-currency environment, underscoring practical demand beyond speculation (source: @JKronbichler, Aug 17, 2025). This grassroots usage aligns with data showing stablecoins dominate crypto transaction volume across Latin America and that USDT leads regional activity, driven by remittances and savings use cases (sources: Chainalysis, Geography of Cryptocurrency 2023 and 2024 updates). For traders, persistent end-user demand in LATAM generally supports growth in stablecoin float and on-chain USD liquidity, which has been linked to deeper order books and tighter spreads on USDT- and USDC-quoted pairs (source: Kaiko Research, 2023 market structure reports). Key metrics to monitor include USDT and USDC market cap changes, chain allocation and attestations, and transfer volumes on Tron and Ethereum as demand proxies (sources: Tether Transparency reports; TronScan; Etherscan).

According to data shared by @KaikoData, high inflation rates are closely correlated with increased stablecoin cross-border transaction volumes, impacting both the sending and receiving sides. Additionally, periods of high bilateral foreign exchange (FX) volatility are linked to more stable stablecoin transaction flows. These findings suggest that traders should monitor macroeconomic indicators such as inflation and FX volatility, as they can signal upcoming changes in stablecoin demand and potential price action across crypto markets (source: @KaikoData, 2024).
