Avax.network — Blockchain Adoption in Latin America According to An Argentine Lawyer

Blockchain is gaining quiet but impactful momentum across Latin America, driven by the region’s economic pressures and cultural receptiveness to practical innovation. According to Leandro Davo of Ava Labs, the technology is being adopted not for ideology, but for solving real problems—often invisibly integrated into user-facing apps.

Key Ideas

Financial Drivers and Real-World Applications: Adoption is led by remittances and tokenized RWAs (e.g., real estate, bonds), offering faster, cheaper cross-border transactions and protection against inflation.
Public Sector Innovation: Governments are piloting blockchain uses in land registries, digital identity, and supply chain systems, laying the foundation for broader civic infrastructure.
Entrepreneurial Potential: There's opportunity for entrepreneurs to launch blockchain-powered apps with simplified user experiences or collaborate with governments on infrastructure projects—especially where blockchain’s benefits are delivered without overtly exposing the technology to end users.
