EBANX, a global technology company specializing in cross-border payment services for emerging markets, has unveiled a new generation of products designed to strengthen global companies' operations across Latin America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. Key innovations include the ability to accept stablecoin payments, AI-driven tools for improving the efficiency and security of digital transactions, and instant payouts through domestic rails. EBANX also announced its expansion into the Philippines through the integration of the country's two leading e-wallets.
"Emerging markets are driving the future of digital commerce, and we are building the infrastructure to make that future accessible to businesses and consumers worldwide," said João Del Valle, CEO and Co-founder of EBANX. "Our investment in new products and our commitment to expanding them into new markets reflect our vision of a world where any business can serve any customer, regardless of location or local payment preferences," Del Valle added.
EBANX merchants will soon be able to accept payments in stablecoins from customers in emerging markets, with settlement available in USDC or USDT, in addition to all fiat currencies currently supported by EBANX. This solution offers a faster, more reliable, and flexible way to conduct cross-border commerce, especially in regions where banking systems are fragmented or inefficient.
"EBANX delivers the speed of blockchain with the convenience of traditional finance, enabling global companies to enter new markets faster, with seamless settlements and no infrastructure roadblocks," explained Eduardo de Abreu, VP of Product at EBANX. "Stablecoins are becoming the first truly global payment method, and their impact is especially powerful in emerging economies, where adoption is accelerating faster than anywhere else in the world."
Latin America exemplifies this shift: 71% of financial institutions in the region already use stablecoins for cross-border payments, compared with a global average of 49%, according to Fireblocks. In Brazil, transaction values on local exchanges surged 208% year-over-year, while in Argentina, stablecoins now represent 62% of the total transaction volume, helping consumers and businesses navigate currency volatility, as Chainalysis data shows. FXC Intelligence estimates that the total addressable value for cross-border payments using stablecoins reaches nearly USD 24 trillion in high-growth markets.
