Binance launches Latamex a fiat to crypto exchange platform that will target Latin America. The website is still in development and shows a “coming soon”. It also lists the number of countries the services would be launched in the future.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said:
“There is a strong need for cryptocurrencies in Latin America, especially for financial access. 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.”
