Latin American cryptocurrency exchange Ripio has revealed that it holds a crypto trove valued at over $100 million, making it the second largest publicly known company of its kind 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, although it did not specify the distribution or performance of its assets.
In addition to holding cryptocurrencies, Ripio said he has acted as a seed investor in other cryptocurrency-focused companies, including Polygon and ZKSync.
OranjeBTC, which earlier this year became Brazil’s largest publicly traded crypto treasury company, currently holds 3,713 BTC worth over $335 million, making it Latin America’s largest digital asset treasury company.
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 worth of BTC.
