A report on the stablecoin sector in Latin America counted 494 companies. Only 16 of them focus mainly on wholesale liquidity, treasury and credit. Cointelegraph published the story on Oct 1, 2026. Felix Ng wrote it and Yohan Yun reviewed it.
The researchers said the weakest part of the system is this small group of firms. If only a few companies supply liquidity, many other businesses depend on them. Cointelegraph's headline puts it the same way: liquidity in the region may depend on a few providers, according to an investor.
The source names none of the 16 firms. It also doesn't name the researchers or the investor, and it doesn't say how the 494 companies were counted. It gives no figures for how much liquidity these providers handle. None of that is known from this story.
For anyone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this story changes nothing directly. It doesn't mention any of these exchanges, funding rates, trading fees or perpetual futures markets. It describes how a regional stablecoin sector is built, not something that has happened to it.
