Brazil’s largest digital asset platform, Mercado Bitcoin, and Caliza, the infrastructure company enabling global stablecoin payments, have joined forces to connect Brazil’s crypto ecosystem with the global economy.

Through this partnership, Mercado Bitcoin users and business clients will be able to make cross-border payments and settlements using stablecoins — seamlessly bridging digital assets and traditional financial rails.

The collaboration brings together Mercado Bitcoin’s scale and regulatory credibility with Caliza’s compliance-first payment network, unlocking new use cases for crypto beyond speculation: real-world payments, merchant settlement, and B2B transfers.

From Digital Assets to Real-World Utility

Stablecoins have rapidly become the world’s most transacted digital asset class. Yet, for many businesses and individuals, spending or settling with stablecoins in the global financial system remains complex — often requiring multiple intermediaries or manual conversion steps.

Caliza solves this by providing regulated on/off-ramp infrastructure that connects stablecoin liquidity directly to USD-denominated payment rails.

Through Mercado Bitcoin’s integration, users gain access to a unified experience: hold stablecoins locally, and use them to fund payments abroad in fiat currency — whether for suppliers, partners, or counterparties.

This means faster settlement, lower friction, and greater inclusion in international financial flows for Brazilian businesses operating globally.

A Shared Vision for Financial Connectivity

Both companies share a commitment to making financial infrastructure more accessible, transparent, and efficient across borders.

“This partnership reflects the next phase of crypto’s evolution in Brazil — moving from trading and speculation toward utility and interoperability,” said Sam, Head of Finance and BD of Caliza. “Together with Mercado Bitcoin, we’re making stablecoins truly usable in the real economy.”

As one of Latin America’s most trusted digital asset platforms, Mercado Bitcoin has consistently pushed innovation forward — from tokenization to secure custody and institutional-grade services. By joining Caliza’s network, it reinforces that leadership by bringing stablecoin utility to everyday payments.

Building the Bridge Between Brazil and the World

Caliza’s mission has always been to connect emerging-market businesses to the U.S. economy through stablecoin rails — safely and compliantly. With Mercado Bitcoin, that mission expands to one of the most active crypto user bases in the region.

For the millions of Brazilians and companies already engaging with digital assets, this partnership makes borderless payments a reality.

It’s another step toward a more connected financial future — where stablecoins are not just held, but used.
