When some macroeconomic tensions ease, bitcoin will regain bullish momentum, Sprone believes.
The expansion of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is—for the interviewee—inevitable.
Within the framework of LABITCONF 2025 that took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the debate on the future of money once again took center stage. CriptoNoticias spoke exclusively with André Sprone, Growth Manager from the MEXC exchange. The executive, of Brazilian origin, offered a pragmatic and optimistic look at bitcoin (BTC), ensuring that its consolidation compared to the traditional system is only a matter of time.
For Sprone, the adoption of bitcoin has ceased to be a distant promise and has become a tangible reality in the everyday economy. He was forceful regarding the fate of the currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto: “It is inevitable that it will become that global reserve.”
Its main argument lies in the structural weakness of money issued by central banks in the face of digital scarcity. “I used to say that [bitcoin] “It was the future, but it is no longer the future, because now it is the present,” said Sprone, referring to the number of companies at the conference that already integrate payment solutions.
According to the young executive’s vision, “fiat money is going to depreciate more and more, so it is inevitable” that bitcoin will appreciate as a logical counterpart.
There is a macroeconomic brake for bitcoin
When asked about market sentiment and recent price corrections that are creating uncertainty in some sectors, Sprone urged to see the big picture. While he acknowledged that “with the price of bitcoin falling, trading volume also falls,” he attributed this situation to factors exogenous to the digital asset ecosystem.
“We are currently in a rather delicate situation in the world, an unstable situation, both economically and politically, with wars and global instability,” he explained.
For the specialist, the fundamental optimism of the industry remains intactbut warned that it is necessary for “those global and macroeconomic situations to be resolved sooner so that the way is clear for appreciation to continue.”
Each investor is different from the rest
One of the most interesting points of the interview was the distinction that Sprone made about the Latin American market.
Far from generalizing, the representative of MEXC explained that each investor has its own characteristics. And that investors from the same country tend to share particular characteristics.
“The Argentine investor is quite different from the Brazilian,” he noted. «Argentina is a country where people have a lot of knowledge about taxes, about spreads and on the price of the dollar.
This economic reality forces exchange platforms to refine their communication. According to Sprone, the Argentine “is a more qualified investor, who seeks information that is not so trivial,” demanding precise and specific data.
Bitcoin in the middle of a sea of tokens and cryptocurrencies
Although MEXC is characterized by listing an immense variety of assets—more than 4,000 tokens according to company figures—Sprone clarified that bitcoin maintains a differentiated status. This is not due to an arbitrary policy of the exchange, but to the own weight of the asset in the market.
While the platform operationally treats all digital currencies equally, the characteristics of bitcoin, such as its volume and relative stability, allow for different conditions.
“In futures, for example, we have greater leverage for Bitcoin,” he detailed, clarifying that This is because “it is a currency with greater stability” and for “the role of bitcoin in the ecosystem, not a purely MEXC initiative.”
When asked about competition between platforms, Sprone dismissed the idea of saturation. “It is a very large market,” he assured, indicating that his strategy focuses on low commissions and a wide offer to attract users in a competitive environment.
What is coming for cryptocurrencies in 2026 according to MEXC?
Looking to the future and the year 2026, Sprone anticipates that stablecoins (stablecoins) will continue to be fundamentals as system infrastructure, while new trends will continue to develop.
“We are going to continue to see bitcoin appreciating,” he projected, adding that technological innovations are also expected: “We will see innovations like those we saw in the past with artificial intelligence (AI) agents.”
Finally, the executive, who confessed to having arrived at the ecosystem driven by libertarian ideals and the fascination with a market “that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week”, left a clear message about financial education. “Crypto, de facto, is going to change the world,” he statedadding that “those who start earlier will be ahead.”
