Brazil

Most recent data shows that BTC trading volume in Brazil has grown 23% and the overall transaction volume has exceeded 1 bln brazilian real.

What experts say

Experts believe that trading volumes in South America will keep rising, since the local economic situation is far from perfect and local fiat currencies are losing their market leadership.

Recently, LocalBitcoins announced that it no longer accepts cash for crypto trading. Users expressed their disappointment in this decision of the platform.
