Over two days, the conference brought together global leaders, companies, and regulators to explore the present and future of stablecoins. With key announcements, product launches, and high-level debates, the event made it clear that the region is entering a new stage of adoption and financial infrastructure building. |
Mexico City hosted the first Stablecoin Conference LatAm 2025, organized by Bitso Business. Over two packed days at the World Trade Center, more than 1,800 attendees, 800 companies, and 100 speakers gathered to discuss, announce, and project the future of stablecoins in the region.
The message was clear: Latin America is no longer a spectator, but a protagonist in the global financial revolution.
Bitso Business launches new brand and announces expansion
One of the major announcements was the new Bitso Business brand identity, leaving behind Bitso’s signature green to adopt a more institutional blue. The change reflects its evolution into a B2B payment infrastructure provider.
The company also announced its expansion into Chile and Peru, reinforcing its role as a strategic partner for businesses managing local and cross-border payments.
New products: FXaaS and Pay with Bitso
Bitso Business also launched two innovative solutions:
- FXaaS (Foreign Exchange as a Service): allows companies to embed FX services directly into their platforms, offering deep liquidity, real-time USD availability, and instant withdrawals.
- Pay with Bitso: enables merchants to accept crypto and stablecoin payments from Bitso’s more than 9 million users, with immediate settlement in fiat or crypto.
