The analysis emphasizes Bitcoin’s leading role <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/from-el-salvador-to-mexico-ditobanx-leads-the-charge-in-crypto-adoption/">across all regions</a> where Bitso operates, reflecting its established status as a reliable investment and savings option. While Bitcoin is predominant, other cryptocurrencies are preferred differently across regions depending on local conditions and preferences. 
As we <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/mexicos-advancement-in-bitcoin-atm-deployment-reflects-growing-cryptocurrency-utilization/">previously reported</a> on Crypto News Flash, specifically in Mexico, Bitcoin comprises 55% of the average wallet composition and 30% of crypto purchases. Brazil follows with 24%, Colombia with 19%, and Argentina with 12%. The value of Bitcoin saw a substantial rise, increasing by 108% by mid-2024, thus reinforcing its market presence. 
The <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/mexico-ranks-third-in-latin-america-for-cryptocurrency-ownership-blockchain-trends/">report by Crypto News Flash</a>, also highlights a positive shift in gender diversity among Bitso users in Mexico, where female participation increased from 22% to 27% over the past six months, marking a growth of over 20% in total female users.&nbsp; 
Furthermore, according to a Deloitte financial inclusion report, the gender gap in savings accounts has widened within traditional banking but narrowed within the cryptocurrency sector. 
The predominant age demographic engaging with cryptocurrencies is between 25 and 34 years, making up 37% of users in Mexico and similar proportions regionally.&nbsp; 
There is also a notable increase in cryptocurrency adoption among older women, with those aged 55 to 64 maintaining a 41% participation rate, and those over 65 increasing to 44%. 
Apart from Bitcoin, Mexican users have a diversified portfolio, with 39% holding more than three types of digital assets. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT rank second in purchase volume, driven by fluctuations in the dollar’s value and their attractiveness due to a 4% annual yield offered on Bitso.
