Latin America (LaBitConf 2019)--December 12th, 2019--Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, today announced the launch of its fiat gateway for Latin America. The new platform, Latamex, under the Binance Fiat Gateway will enable direct fiat purchases of cryptocurrency for Latin American users on Binance.com in partnership with Settle Network, the largest digital assets settlement network in Latin America.
The new platform for Latin America will initially launch in Argentina and Brazil for direct purchases of cryptocurrencies, including BTC, BNB, ETH, and stablecoins such as BUSD, with the Argentine Peso (ARS) and Brazilian Real (BRL) through the Binance Fiat Gateway channel.
“There is a strong need for cryptocurrency in Latin America, especially for financial access,” said Binance CEO CZ (Changpeng Zhao). “Roughly 50 percent of the Latin American population is unbanked, and Latamex is a response to our users’ demands and the current market climate. Working with Settle Network allows us to instantly bridge the gap between fiat and crypto for Latin American traders. We are continuing to build with our key partner, Settle Network, to bring wider accessibility of cryptocurrency in Latin America and will support additional local fiat currencies in the region in the future.”
“Latin America has illustrated one of the largest needs and use cases for blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption,” said Pablo Orlando, Founder and CEO of Settle Network. “Partnering with Binance has allowed us to further open fiat gateways for Latin American users together and bring larger adoption forward to provide financial freedom in the region.”
“The crypto industry is still in its early stages and most of the world’s money is still in fiat,” said CZ. “Building fiat gateways is what we need now to grow the ecosystem, increase adoption and introduce crypto to more users.”
Latamex is part of Binance’s partners to provide easy access and more options to people throughout regions for the purchase of cryptocurrency with fiat in a fast and secure manner.
