- KuCoin Pay has integrated with Pix, enabling cryptocurrency payments at any merchant accepting Pix QR codes.
- Approximately 26 million Brazilians, or about 12% of the population, are now using digital assets.
- The integration allows for instant conversions between cryptocurrencies and the Brazilian real.
- Pix serves over 175 million users and was launched by the Central Bank of Brazil in 2020.
- KuCoin is ranked as the eighth-largest crypto exchange globally, with over $6.2 billion in spot trading volume.
