Latin America's largest crypto-finance firm processed almost one in seven remittance dollars along the US-Mexico corridor in the first eight months of 2026.

The figure means roughly one in every seven dollars sent along one of the world's busiest money-transfer corridors moved through Bitso's infrastructure during that eight-month stretch, underscoring the growing role of crypto-adjacent platforms in cross-border payments that have historically been dominated by traditional wire services.
