KuCoin’s payment arm, KuCoin Pay, has integrated with Brazil’s instant payment system Pix to enable crypto payments across Brazil.

This development allows users in Brazil to convert more than 50 cryptocurrencies at merchants that accept Pix QR codes.

The integration is designed to facilitate the use of digital assets in everyday transactions.

With the integration, users can instantly convert cryptocurrencies to Brazilian Real (BRL) and directly transfer funds from their KuCoin accounts to any Brazilian bank or pay merchants through Pix, according to KuCoin.

The service supports crypto as well as fiat wallet management within the KuCoin app and is built to comply with Brazil’s know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.

KuCoin said that Pix has more than 175 million users and operates around the clock, allowing transfers through QR codes and other identifiers.

The payment system is credited with reducing dependency on cash and improving operational efficiency.

KuCoin Pay merchant payment solution supports more than 50 cryptocurrencies, including USD Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Bitcoin (BTC), and KCS, and is designed for both offline and online transactions, according to KuCoin’s news release.

KuCoin Pay lead Raymond Ngai said: “By integrating with Pix, we are unlocking a new economic layer for Brazil’s digitally savvy population.

“This embodies our commitment to enhance crypto accessibility for all, building on our previously announced on-chain payment solutions as a new step forward in making digital assets practical for everyday life.”

In May 2025, KuCoin Pay integrated with AEON, a Web3 payment protocol. This partnership aims to enhance KuCoin Pay’s mobile payment capabilities across retail environments.

AEON’s platform, which is built to accommodate automated payments driven by AI, will enable intelligent management and automation of transactions, including subscriptions and remittances, across various blockchain networks.
