BTG Pactual will serve as Circle’s direct USDC distribution partner in Brazil, providing the stablecoin to its existing retail and institutional clients. The bank will also onboard new clients who wish to use USDC and equip the stablecoin with local banking rail capabilities to facilitate low-cost access and minting.
Meanwhile, according to the general manager of Nubank Cripto, Thomaz Fortes, customers can already access USDC on Nubank.
“Our partnership with Circle marks a significant milestone for Nubank and the access to digital dollars in Brazil. In our 100 million active user base, we see a large demand for customers to seek digital dollars as a way to protect against inflation, build their savings and in the future, spend and use it for other useful applications,” Fortes stated.
Fortes further said the partnership will democratize access to the realm of digital assets and foster the future of digital transactions.
