Bitso, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Latin America, has announced plans for the launch of a multi-platform perpetuals aggregator and its own native token in 2026, according to the latest information shared with Finbold on Wednesday, November 26.
The expansion initiative seeks to capitalize on the accelerating crypto adoption in the region seen in the past couple of years. Indeed, the Mexico-based exchange’s retail user base grew more than 12% in 2024, reaching nine million customers.
Stablecoins have seen the most notable surge in popularity, with Chainalysis data showing that Latin America is leading the world in stablecoin adoption, with traders in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia recording stablecoin transaction shares of 61%, 59%, and 66% in 2024, respectively.

New trading features on Bitso
Further, the Bitso user base is showing growing interest in more advanced trading features. This seems evident in the fact that the exchange’s professional-grade (“Alpha”) and retail (“Classic”) segments generate nearly identical trading volumes despite the former serving fewer clients. The management interprets this as evidence that customers are increasingly “leaning towards sophisticated algorithmic trading.”
This shift, propped by increased institutional participation and clearer regulations, is informing the company’s next growth phase. The next flagship product will come in the shape of the aforementioned multi-platform perps aggregator scheduled for Q1 2026.
Built on Bitso Onchain, the platform will allow leveraged traders to access the most competitive perps and track a unified USD Coin (USDC) balance across different venues. To prime the community for the launch, Bitso is rolling out a user-engagement initiative on December 1, 2025, aptly called “Season 0.”
Native Bitso token coming in 2026
During Bitso Onchain’s activation with Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) at Devconnect Argentina, the exchange also confirmed that a native Bitso Onchain token is coming in 2026.
While precise details are still not known, the asset will reportedly be used to incentivize users and strengthen participation in the ecosystem.
The new token and the perps aggregator, together with the rapidly expanding on-chain infrastructure, are expected not only to reinforce Bitso’s position as the leading exchange in Latin America but also to present it as a global contender looking to onboard up to 1 billion new users.
