Binance s'associe à Mastercard pour lancer la carte Crypto au Brésil

Global payment platform Mastercard announced on Monday, January 30, a partnership with crypto exchange Binance to launch a prepaid card in Brazil. The move aligns with Mastercard’s ambition to “broaden the connection between traditional finance and crypto.”.

The Binance card is reportedly in beta testing and will be available in Brazil in the coming weeks. Brazil will become the second Latin American country to receive the prepaid cards after Argentina. Also, the launch of these cards in South America mirrors the strong reliance on cryptocurrency as a way out of harsh economic conditions. According to Marcelo Tangioni, president of Mastercard in Brazil, “Brazilians are eager to use cryptocurrency beyond an investment asset.”

Apart from boasting Latin America’s biggest economy, Brazil has also become one of Binance’s largest markets, and the partnership with Mastercard could tighten Binance’s grip on the South American crypto market.

De plus, les cartes prépayées permettront aux anciens et aux nouveaux utilisateurs de Binance de payer des factures avec des crypto-monnaies chez n'importe quel marchand Mastercard. Environ 13 crypto-monnaies sont disponibles, dont Binance USD, BTC et Ether.

D'après un blog Publier, users will need to have a valid ID card to be eligible for the card. Furthermore, Binance’s card will charge a 0.9% fee for each transaction involving cryptocurrencies. Binance also noted that it will allow free ATM withdrawals and provide up to 8% in cashback with crypto. Interestingly, the Brazilian card will work similarly to the Argentinian card. Users’ funds will be instantly converted from cryptocurrency to fiat currency at the sale point.

Réagissant au lancement de la carte, Guilherme Nazar, directeur général de Binance Brazil, a déclaré :

Le Brésil est un marché extrêmement pertinent pour Binance, et nous continuerons à investir dans de nouveaux services pour les utilisateurs locaux, ainsi qu'à contribuer au développement de la blockchain et de l'écosystème crypto dans le pays.

Binance referenced a 2022 MasterCard study, which showed that 49% of Brazilian users have made at least one transaction using cryptocurrency in the last 12 months, surpassing the global average of 41%. This statistic confirms Brail’s growing interest in cryptocurrencies.

The Brazilian Congress passed a bill last year that recognizes cryptocurrency payments in the country but does not make the assets themselves legal tender. The bill was signed into law by the former President Jair Bolsanaro.

According to Binance’s announcement, the crypto exchange has envisage d'augmenter le nombre de crypto-monnaies prises en charge par sa carte prépayée et de la rendre disponible dans plus de pays.
