​LATAM Digital Assets Conf

​📍 About the event

​LATAM Digital Assets Conf is a two day institutional conference in Buenos Aires at the intersection of digital assets, traditional finance, and regulation. Day 1 focuses on payments and stablecoins, while Day 2 focuses on tokenization and capital markets. The conference brings together C-level executives from banks, fintechs, exchanges, and asset managers; regulators and lawmakers from across Latin America; investment funds; and founders of global protocols.

​Latin America's institutions are going onchain, and this is where they meet. The region moved $730 billion in digital assets in 2025, growing three times faster than the United States. Argentina leads the region in per capita adoption: 20% of the population holds digital assets, and stablecoin usage grew 220% year over year.

​LATAM stands as an opportunity to build the new era of finance, powered by its talent, its community, and the openness of its public institutions.

​Join the conversation on August 20 and 21, in Buenos Aires.
