According to Blockchain.com, the infrastructure will help Brazilian companies move and settle funds across borders with “fewer constraints than traditional banking systems”.
To support the offering, the company is partnering with US banks to enable USD settlement and international payment routing.
The platform can route and settle transfers using stablecoins such as USDC and USDT.
It also automatically selects the most efficient infrastructure depending on where each transfer originates and where it is being sent.
Blockchain.com said the service is intended for enterprises managing international suppliers, payroll, treasury flows and cross-border commerce.
The company added that the system supports near real-time settlement while also improving visibility and operational efficiency.
Blockchain.com said it combines traditional banking connectivity with stablecoin infrastructure to provide institutional clients with access to both fiat and digital asset ecosystems.
Blockchain.com general manager of Brazil Fabrizio Spada said: “We’re seeing growing demand from businesses that want the speed and efficiency of digital assets without the complexity traditionally associated with crypto.
“Our role is to provide compliant, secure, and scalable infrastructure that allows institutions to move capital globally with confidence.”
Following the Brazil launch, the company said it plans to expand its corporate presence into other Latin American markets.
The development builds on Blockchain.com’s wider institutional business, which serves hedge funds, market makers, corporations and high-net-worth clients through brokerage, liquidity, custody and market infrastructure services.
