Partnership with BTG Pactual and Nubank aims to provide access to USDC for Brazilian users.
Brazil's growing fintech sector, fuelled by initiatives like Pix, presents a favorable market.
Circle, a global financial technology firm and issuer of the
regulated stablecoin USDC, has disclosed its official entry into the Brazilian
market. This strategic manoeuvre aims to offer USD-backed digital currency and
infrastructure to a region known for its burgeoning fintech landscape.
Collaborating with key local enterprises like BTG Pactual
and Nubank, Circle intends to introduce digital asset products facilitating
swift, cost-effective, and round-the-clock access to USDC.
Expanding USDC Access in Brazil
This expansion coincides with a period of considerable
fintech adoption, propelled by forward-looking policies such as the 2020 launch
of the instant payment platform Pix, which boasts a user base exceeding 160
million. Stablecoins presently dominate approximately 90% of crypto
transactions. Circle aims to enhance Brazil's financial ecosystem by
collaborating with innovative partners to democratize access to digital dollars
through USDC.

As part of its market entry strategy, Circle has partnered
with BTG Pactual, Latin America's largest investment bank, to serve as its
primary USDC distribution channel in Brazil. This collaboration will enable BTG
Pactual to provide existing retail and institutional clients with access to
USDC, as well as onboard new clients seeking exposure to the digital currency.
The partnership will also furnish USDC with local banking
rail capabilities, facilitating swift and cost-effective minting and redemption
of digital dollars for businesses.
“Since 2017, BTG Pactual has been at the
forefront of financial market innovations, actively participating in the crypto
space. Our commitment to innovation led us to create Mynt, our own Crypto
trading platform. We are proud to be the first bank to issue a security token
and a USD stablecoin in the world and also the first bitcoin fund by a
financial institution in Brazil,” said André Portilho, Head Digital Assets at
BTG Pactual.

Building on its previous announcement of collaboration with
Nubank, a digital banking platform serving over 100 million customers in
Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, Nubank Crypto customers in Brazil are already
engaged in transactions involving USDC.
“We are committed to making a positive impact in the
Brazilian market and partnering with key stakeholders to empower businesses to
participate in the global economy with greater ease and efficiency,” said
Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder and CEO at Circle.
“There are many powerful
opportunities on the horizon when Brazil’s fintech-forward ecosystem converges
with the world’s most accessible dollar platform.”
