LATAM has demonstrated growing interest in DeFi in 2025. So it breathes, but major onboarding and exits are still recorded by CEXs, as that\u2019s where the fiat access lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, banks, payment processors, and remittance rails do not interface directly with protocols. They interface with regulated platforms that can perform identity checks, maintain records, and respond to regulatory queries.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>\u201cAnother <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/research.kaiko.com\/reports\/the-state-of-latam-crypto-markets-2025\"><b><i>Kaiko Research report<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> suggests that 70% of Colombian users still enter crypto through CEXs.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason is practical. For most users, a centralized cryptocurrency exchange software remains the first touchpoint to convert local currency into digital assets and the last stop when moving funds back into fiat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where recent regulatory developments shift the balance. When regulators ask for user identities, transaction volumes, asset balances, and historical activity, centralized exchanges become directly answerable because they already possess these data layers. CEXs act as custodians, run KYC\/AML workflows, and maintain comprehensive transaction logs. That makes them the natural accountability layer in the crypto ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulation, therefore, does not eliminate DeFi in Colombia. Instead, it repositions DeFi within the broader market structure. Decentralized protocols increasingly function as execution and yield layers, while centralized exchanges serve as the regulated gateways that connect crypto to the real economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking ahead, this is why hybrid exchange development models are likely to be the most viable approach for Colombia in 2026 and beyond.
