Latin American cryptocurrency exchange Ripio has revealed that it holds over $100 million worth of crypto treasure, making it the second largest publicly known such firm in Latin America behind OranjeBTC.
Company CEO Sebastian Serrano confirmed the figure in an interview with CoinDesk during DevConnect 2025 in Buenos Aires, noting that it began acquiring bitcoin and ether in 2017. Since then, Ripio has managed its holdings through trading and hedging strategies, though it did not specify the breakdown or performance of its assets.
In addition to holding crypto, Ripio said it has served as a seed investor in other crypto-focused companies, including Polygon and ZKSync.
OranjeBTC, which earlier this year became Brazil’s largest publicly traded crypto-tax company, currently holds 3,713 BTC worth more than $335 million, making it the largest digital asset finance company in Latin America.
Méliuz, the region’s third-largest DAT, currently holds around $54 million in bitcoin, while Latin American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre holds $51 million in BTC.
