Latin American cryptocurrency exchange Ripio has revealed it holds a crypto treasury valued at over $100 million, making it the second-largest publicly known such firm in Latin America behind OranjeBTC.
The company’s 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 didn’t specify the breakdown or performance of its assets.
In addition to holding crypto, Ripio said it has acted 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 treasury firm, currently holds 3,713 BTC worth more than $335 million, making it the largest digital asset treasury company in Latin America.
Méliuz, the region’s third-largest DAT, currently holds around $54 million worth of bitcoin, while Latin American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre holds $51 million of BTC.
