$BTC LATAM crypto: Argentina’s Bitcoin treasury, Brazil’s tokenization milestone
This week in LATAM crypto, Argentina launched its first public Bitcoin treasury, Brazil’s XDC Network hit $100 million in tokenized assets, and Brazilian interest in “digital gold” is rising.
Argentina’s Bitcoin Treasury
Zonda Bitcoin Capital, co-founded by Leonardo Rubinstein and Pablo Herman, allows investors to gain Bitcoin exposure without holding the asset. The firm plans to buy BlackRock’s IBIT ETF via Coinbase, offering tax benefits, corporate crypto access, and tokenized share possibilities, with an initial target of 1,810 BTC.
Brazil’s Tokenization Milestone
XDC Network, in partnership with Liqi Digital Assets, has tokenized over $100 million in real-world assets (RWAs). Major banks like Banco Itaú and Banco ABC participate, with plans to reach $500 million by 2026. The network offers fast, secure, and ISO 20022-compliant transactions, cementing Brazil’s leadership in institutional blockchain adoption.
Digital Gold Gains in Brazil
Amid gold’s recent surge, digital gold trading (e.g., Pax Gold/PAXG) in Brazil grew 300% in 2025. Investors are increasingly exploring crypto-backed gold as an alternative investment.
