KuCoin Pay Adds Brazil's Pix for Crypto-to-BRL QR Payments

Published at 2025-11-21 17:15:09

KuCoin Pay rolled out support for Brazil’s Pix, enabling users to swap crypto into Brazilian reais and settle merchant transactions using QR codes. The integration taps into Pix’s instant, 24/7 rails — a widely used system for person-to-person and merchant payments overseen by Brazil’s central bank — making crypto funds spendable at the point of sale.

The move could broaden on- and off-ramps for crypto in Latin America, encouraging merchant acceptance and everyday utility beyond trading. It also intensifies competition among wallets and exchanges aiming for real-world payments. Users should note standard compliance checks and the usual volatility considerations, while merchants may benefit from faster settlement and easier access to crypto-originated demand.
