Thanks for supporting the Bitso meet up @ Alibre.io’s HQ

Last Thursday, Pablo Barragan and Gaby Belden from Bitso’s marketing team visited us for an exclusive look into their crypto exchange app.

[Apr 16th, 2019] This was their first meetup in Tijuana, with many more coming this year throughout LATAM. Bitso is a Mexican-made digital exchange platform that allows users to purchase and sell digital currencies among each other. At more than 600,000 users, Bitso is LATAM’s leading digital currency exchange provider. They’re also the only app in LATAM to let you check market trends and buy crypto at the same time.

The company started in April 2014 with the goal of increasing access to affordable financial services for individuals and small businesses in Mexico. They also provide easy access to the crypto ecosystem while continuously developing tools that bring crypto to everyday life.

Cryptocurrencies are much more than a speculative asset; they are a means of disruptive exchange that allow peer-to-peer transfers with minimal fees and no “middlemen”. At the meet-up, attendees were shown how to easily access the cryptocurrency ecosystem through the Bitso app. Everyone was given $35 pesos in Bitcoin and were able to buy beer and tortas using their phones.

Bitso’s strong emphasis on financial regulation and compliance, bank-grade payment integrations, proprietary technology and user-centered design has made them the standard for digital currency platforms in all of LATAM. For more information about Bitso, check out their blog.
