The Rise of Stablecoin Payments in Latin America
Latin America has quickly become a proving ground for real‑world crypto adoption. In Brazil alone, over 150 million people use Pix, the country’s instant payment system. Meanwhile, the demand for dollar‑backed stablecoins like USDC continues to grow, offering Brazilians a way to access digital dollars without going through banks.
Pix + USDC in Zypto App adds a powerful new option, bringing stablecoin payments directly into daily life across Brazil.
How Zypto’s PayAbroad Feature Works With Pix
Zypto’s new PayAbroad integration is built in partnership with PayAbroad and Stellar, combining blockchain speed with local payment rails like Pix.
Here’s how it works:
- •
- •Select a wallet and tap Exchange
- •Choose Pay Abroad
- •Scan the Pix QR code from the merchant
- •Approve the transaction
Your USDC is converted on the spot, and the merchant receives Brazilian Real (BRL) – all handled instantly through PayAbroad’s infrastructure, Stellar’s low‑cost network, and Zypto’s smart routing.
No banks. No cash. No complicated off‑ramping process. Just real crypto, used in real life.
Why Use USDC Instead of Fiat?
Unlike fiat currency, USDC is blockchain‑native, transparent, and globally accessible. By using USDC to pay via Pix, you’re tapping into the benefits of DeFi without sacrificing real‑world usability.
- •No volatility – USDC is dollar‑pegged
- •No banks – stay fully on‑chain
- •No delays – instant settlement with Stellar
- •No guesswork – see exact amounts before you approve
And since Pix is already accepted almost everywhere in Brazil – from cafés and supermarkets to ride‑hailing apps – this integration makes it easier than ever to live on crypto.
