In the face of economic challenges and the growing issue of limited access to traditional institutions, Latin America is embracing decentralized finance as a path to financial sovereignty. Offchain Labs’ presents the vision of “Arbitrum Everywhere,” highlighting how Arbitrum’s scalable and low-cost infrastructure is enabling this transformation.

Arbitrum is rapidly becoming the blockchain for stablecoin adoption, with over $5.5 billion in stablecoin supply. This growth is driven by platforms like El Dorado, which connects stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and MountainUSD (USDM) to over 80 local finance apps across Latin America. El Dorado has facilitated more than 4 million USDT peer-to-peer transactions, providing users with access to digital dollars that are mobile and borderless.

The vision extends beyond infrastructure; it encompasses the creation of a digital sovereign nation. Arbitrum aims to empower its community through the ArbitrumDAO, granting stakeholders authority over assets and governance. This decentralized model supports initiatives like the STEP program, which has onboarded major financial institutions, further integrating Arbitrum into the global financial ecosystem.

By focusing on performance, unification, and decentralization, Arbitrum is not only scaling Ethereum but also fostering a new era of financial inclusion and sovereignty in Latin America.
