Cryptocurrency adoption trends in Brazil

Overview

A national survey conducted by Datafolha and Paradigma indicates that cryptocurrency adoption in Brazil has reached approximately 29 million people, representing 17.2% of the population over 16. This reflects an increase from 16% reported 15 months prior. Digital assets have surpassed public bonds, the US dollar, and stocks in terms of reach, with Bitcoin being the most recognized asset at 60.7%.

Subsequent details from the survey highlight that 66.4% of Brazilians are now familiar with the technology. Traditional and digital banking applications have become the primary gateways for investors. Regional trends show increased adoption in the Center-West region, driven by the agribusiness sector.

While adoption is growing, 77% of those interested in investing but not yet participating cite technological complexity as a major barrier. Additionally, investors are showing increased political awareness, prioritizing candidates in the National Congress who support the regulation and development of the crypto ecosystem.
