Ripple is launching crypto-backed cross-border payments in partnership with leading Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin. According to an official announcement on October 3, Ripple’s “end-to-end managed payments solution” will enable Brazilian businesses to make faster, cheaper, and more efficient payments around the world. The initial operation is expected to target corporate clients from Mercado Bitcoin to Mercado Bitcoin Portugal. This move builds on Ripple’s new functionality that it introduced in 2023.
