Crypto Exchange Ripio Reveals $100M Crypto Treasury, Second Largest in Latin America

Why It Matters

The sizable treasury underscores Ripio’s growing financial clout and risk‑management sophistication, signaling deeper institutional participation in Latin America’s crypto market and potentially attracting more capital and partnership opportunities.

Summary

Latin American crypto exchange Ripio disclosed a cryptocurrency treasury exceeding $100 million, making it the second‑largest publicly known digital‑asset treasury in the region after Brazil’s OranjeBTC. The holdings, primarily bitcoin and ether, have been acquired since 2017 and are managed through active trading and hedging strategies, though the asset mix and performance were not detailed. CEO Sebastian Serrano also highlighted Ripio’s role as a seed investor in projects such as Polygon and ZKSync. The disclosure places Ripio ahead of Méliuz ($54 million) and Mercado Libre ($51 million) in the regional hierarchy of crypto treasuries.
