As Latin America (LATAM) continues to embrace digital innovation, stablecoin adoption is emerging as a transformative force for cross-border payments, inflation protection, and financial inclusion. But for this potential to be fully realized, solutions must also be regulatory-compliant. This is where TransFi plays a pivotal role.
This case study explores how TransFi is building the compliant crypto infrastructure needed to accelerate the use of stablecoins in Latin America—safely, legally, and at scale.
The Problem: Growing Demand Meets Regulatory Uncertainty
LATAM markets—such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico—have seen explosive growth in crypto usage. But despite high demand for stablecoins like USDC and USDT, businesses and consumers face key challenges:
- Lack of regulatory clarity for stablecoin usage
- Limited access to compliant crypto solutions in LATAM
- Fragmented infrastructure for on- and off-ramps
- Risk of non-compliance for fintechs and startups
This created a critical gap: the need for a regulatory-compliant stablecoin payment infrastructure across LATAM.
The Solution: TransFi’s Regulatory Crypto Infrastructure
TransFi entered the LATAM market with a mission to provide compliant crypto rails that enable legal, scalable, and efficient stablecoin adoption in LATAM.
TransFi’s platform includes:
- Licensed on/off-ramps with local fiat integration
- Support for regulatory-compliant stablecoins like USDC and USDT
- Full KYC/AML compliance embedded in the user flow
- Real-time monitoring and reporting tools for fintech partners
- Country-specific regulatory integration (e.g., CVM, UIF, UIF-AR)
Implementation: Building Stablecoin Rails Across LATAM
TransFi partnered with local banks, payment processors, and regulators to launch in key LATAM countries. Here's how TransFi supported the process:
- In Brazil, integrated with PIX and supported Reais-to-stablecoin conversion
- In Argentina, added localized off-ramps with AFIP-compliant reporting
- In Colombia and Mexico, partnered with fintechs to enable legal crypto payouts
Through this model, TransFi is building regulatory-compliant stablecoin rails that serve both businesses and individual users.
