Bitso Business, an arm of the Mexican crypto exchange Bitso, will launch a Mexican peso-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum.
The stablecoin, MXNB, will be issued and managed by Bitso’s subsidiary Juno and will be fully fiat-backed by Mexican pesos on a one-to-one basis.
The primary use case for MXNB is to promote foreign investment and trade in Latin American economies, providing a more efficient way to do business compared to traditional finance infrastructure.
Mexico, being a significant country for cryptocurrency-based remittances, is also experiencing increased crypto transaction value and stablecoin purchases in response to challenging macroeconomic conditions.
