Other products available to local investors include peer-to-peer trading, staking, and extensive liquidity spanning numerous digital assets. 
OKX President Hong Fang expressed satisfaction with the launch of their latest expansion. 
“We’re pleased to officially launch our latest expansion of our world-class crypto exchange and Web3 wallet in one of Latin America’s most vibrant crypto markets,” she said. 
She also emphasized the great potential of crypto and blockchain in Latin America, highlighting Argentina as a key point for their regional growth strategy. <a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/latin-america-cryptocurrency-adoption/">According to Chainalysis</a>, Argentina is the second-largest crypto market in Latin America, home to over 4 million crypto users.

 There is a good reason behind OKX’s strategic Latin America move. In December 2023, <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/crypto-exchange-okx-officially-debuts-in-brazil-offers-trading-with-advanced-features.htm">the exchange opened shop in Brazil</a>, Latin America’s biggest crypto market. 
With rising inflation and difficulties with cross-border payments, it’s easy to understand why <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/cryptoasset-ecosystem-booms-latin-america-caribbean-study.htm">crypto adoption continues to rise</a> in Latin America. According to the Chainalysis Global Adoption Index, the region received about 9.1% of the global crypto in 2023. Institutional adoption in Latin America has also been encouraging. 
Brazil’s largest bank <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/brazils-largest-lender-itau-unibanco-brings-bitcoin-trading-service-to-clients.htm">Itau Unibanco now offers crypto trading</a> services to its clients. The bank also serves as the crypto custodian of the assets, as it now allows customers to trade crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Popular cities in Argentina, such as Buenos Aires, now even accept Bitcoin as a form of tax payment. The Santa Fe Province also <a href="https://www.ambito.com/finanzas/criptomonedas/una-localidad-santa-fe-invertira-ganarle-la-inflacion-n5413523">considered</a> using funds from crypto mining to finance state projects.
