Brazilian fintech Bitfy announced that it will be part of the 3rd round of the Start Path Crypto program, conceived by MasterCard, that aims to support innovation in the cryptocurrencies, blockchain and digital assets ecosystem. Bitfy CEO and founder Lucas Schoch says the partnership will accelerate the company’s growth.
“Partnering with a giant like Mastercard will allow us to learn from their experience,” he said.
Mastercard’s Vice President of Market and Development for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Kiki del Valle, highlighted that the initiative contributes to the ecosystem of digital currencies.
“As a technology leader, we know we play a key role in digital assets, helping to shape the industry and keeping consumers safe.”
According to an Americas Market Intelligence (AMI) survey, commissioned by Mastercard, 19% of Latin American adults use or have used digital currencies, and that the modality is rapidly expanding to consumers with fewer resources, traditionally excluded from the financial system.
