Through a contract with Brazilian cryptocurrency services provider SmartPay, connected with TecBan, a local business that runs 24,000 ATMs under the title Banco24Horas, Tether will make it possible to convert USDT to Brazilian currency Reais across the country. According to SmartPay CEO Rocelo Lopes, users can transmit USDT to an ATM from any wallet, such as an exchange. Users can deposit Reais at ATMs starting in February to get USDT in their wallets.
According to Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer of Tether, the chance to integrate more individuals into the financial system is provided by introducing Tether tokens to ATMs across Brazil. The payments sector and the whole Brazilian financial ecosystem will undergo significant changes as a result.
Being one of the most popular stablecoin cryptocurrency tokens in the region, the USDT has emerged as the most widely used token used to transfer value in the nation. In August, 79,836 activities totaling more than $1.4 billion with an average value of about $18,000 per transaction were conducted utilizing USDT.
Users that have access to SmartPay can choose the ideal coin for their intended use case, incorporating Tether tokens like USDT. Additionally, customers can withdraw Reais from Brazil and transfer and receive Tether tokens at any time and from anywhere in the world.
Rocelo Lopes, CEO of SmartPay, stated that when Banco24Horas is shown, tether tokens may now be converted into Reais. He further stated that,
“After we integrated Tether tokens with the Brazilian Payment System called PiX, we integrated with TecBan which is the largest ATM company provider in Brazil."
