Mainstream adoption of digital assets in Latin America continues to accelerate with Brazilian fintechs leading the way.

Brazil-based Nubank – one of the world’s largest digital banking platforms – announced in May it now offers crypto buying, holding and selling capabilities powered by Paxos. We’re thrilled that now another 50 million Brazilians have seamless access to Bitcoin and Ethereum through the Nubank platform. The move into crypto represents a strategic move for the company and will further accelerate adoption in the region. By adding crypto, they create trusted access to this new system and fast growing asset class. Paxos infrastructure ensures customer assets are safeguarded by the leading regulated Trust for digital assets globally.

By providing blockchain infrastructure for PayPal, Interactive Brokers, Mercado Libre, Mastercard and now Nubank, Paxos already powers half a billion end user crypto wallets. We’re fueling the adoption of crypto by working with trusted brands and platforms upon which consumers already rely. Today, more people have access to a fast, safe and transparent banking system that was previously out of reach. We’re proud to bring hundreds of millions of people closer to a more inclusive financial system. This is great news for the crypto community altogether.
