KuCoin Pay Integrates with Pix to Expand Instant Crypto Payments in Brazil
Hey Payments Fanatic!
KuCoin Pay is expanding its Payments footprint in Latin America as it integrates with Pix, enabling millions of Brazilians to convert and spend more than 50 cryptocurrencies directly at any Pix-enabled merchant.
The integration allows instant crypto-to-BRL transfers, letting users pay merchants or move funds to any Brazilian bank account from within the KuCoin app. It combines crypto and fiat wallet functionality under a secure, KYC-aligned infrastructure designed for high-volume.
Brazil remains one of the world’s most active crypto markets, with an estimated 26 million users. By tapping into Pix’s 175 million-strong user base, the move boosts accessibility and brings digital assets closer to daily payments and financial inclusion.
KuCoin says the rollout marks a new step in making crypto practical for real-world transactions, reinforcing earlier progress on its on-chain payment solutions.
Stay well-informed, and I'll be back in your inbox tomorrow with more information as the payments sector continues to converge.
