Ripple Expands Cross-Border Payments to Brazil in Partnership with Mercado Bitcoin

Ripple, a global leader in cross-border payments, has officially entered the Brazilian market through a new partnership with Mercado Bitcoin, the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. This collaboration marks a significant step in Ripple’s mission to extend its reach globally, despite facing regulatory challenges in the U.S., including the SEC’s recent appeal against the company.

Ripple Payments’ expansion into Brazil follows its recent ventures into other international markets, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The partnership with Mercado Bitcoin aims to revolutionize cross-border payments in Brazil by leveraging blockchain technology to make transactions faster, cheaper, more efficient, and more secure.

Mercado Bitcoin, a leading exchange with over a decade of experience in the crypto market, is now the first in Brazil to adopt Ripple’s comprehensive end-to-end payments solution. Ripple’s LATAM Managing Director, Silvio Pegado, expressed excitement over the partnership, emphasizing Ripple Payments’ unique capabilities in enhancing real-time payment settlements for businesses.

With this new venture, Ripple continues to strengthen its global footprint, positioning itself as a key player in the digital asset space and the future of cross-border payments.
