Bitso raises $1,895,917 from 45 investors so far… after Donald Trump clamps down on Mexican remittances.
Qualifying investors can now co-invest with Barry Silbert, Simon Dixon, Max Keiser and other top tier FinTech investors in the largest Bitcoin exchange in Mexico.
Featured Pitch
American real estate mogul and presidential hopeful – Donald Trump, launched an attack against remittance payments from the US to Mexico last week.
Mexico is one of the largest remittance partners of the US, with the majority of migrant Mexican workers sending part of their salaries to their families in Mexico. According to the World Bank, three of the most frequently used remittance service companies – Western Union (6.1%), MoneyGram (6.64%) and CitiBank (14.59%) charge 9.11% on average, excluding the conversion fees.
This announcement inspired Bitso, the largest Bitcoin to Mexican Peso exchange in Mexico, to launch their funding round on our Online Investment Platform for qualifying investors.
BitSo has built a solution that uses the digital currency – Bitcoin and an integration with the Mexican Central Bank to allow Mexicans to freely trade their Dollars and Mexican Pesos in and out of Bitcoin.
The timing of Trump’s announcement increased the need for Bitso’s solution and has already attracted over $1.85 million of investment and is now open to qualifying investors. Watch this video for full details:
- Largest Bitcoin market in Mexico with over $10 million in trade volume (562% growth in the last year).
- Deep bank-grade integration into the Mexican interbank payment system. Instant (5-30 second) deposits and withdrawals to any bank in the country. Ability to create Mexican bank account numbers tied to programmatic rules and API connectivity.
- Account funding in over 130,000 locations in Mexico including Oxxo and 7Eleven.
- Top-tier investors, including Digital Currency Group – Barry Silbert (leading Bitcoin investor), Bitcoin Capital 3 (Bitcoin VC Fund managed by Simon Dixon – Co-Founder & CEO of BnkToTheFuture and Max Keiser – Bitcoin investor) and Hark Yaka (AngelList, Twitter, Coinbase).
