Dash’s Growing Presence in Latin America

In addition to NovaDAX, Dash continues to expand across South America with new exchange integrations and merchant adoption. Within 2019, exchanges such as 3xbit, Coinbene, and XDEX have all integrated Dash, which greatly expands liquidity across the country. Services including Kamoney Bill Pay also integrated Dash, which empower Brazilians to pay their bills with Dash and purchase gift cards with Dash as well, facilitating living off of it as a currency. Further, EletroPay, the innovative merchant POS solution has pushed development of its product to enable more merchants to accept Dash, including being able to directly exchange fiat for Dash, as well as act as a point of sale to sell Dash to customers. All of these Dash integrations further empower Brazilians to use cryptocurrency as everyday cash.

Venezuela and Colombia also remain countries with strong Dash adoption. Venezuelans suffering from extreme hyperinflation looking for an alternative to fiat have found Dash and its attributes of a fast, inexpensive medium of exchange highly useful. Recently, Dash has been adopted by a pharmacy and a parking garage, where it has already been used over 1,000 times within a few weeks. In Colombia, Dash was recently integrated into the Daex exchange, as well as the expansion of Dash Text to enable individuals to send Dash via non-smartphones, which accounts for around 59% of Colombians. A large reason for Dash’s expansion within Colombia has been thanks to the Dash Latam team that continues to approach more merchants to adopt and use Dash.

Dash’s growing global presence

Dash continues to grow around the globe as more and larger cryptocurrency services beyond Brazil continue to integrate it into their platforms. Most recently, in addition to NovaDAX, Coinbase Pro just announced it will integrate Dash this month, which will provide Dash liquidity to all of Coinbase Pro’s service regions except New York State and the United Kingdom. PumaPay, a payment processor with advanced billing features used prominently in the adult entertainment industry, also added Dash this week. Finally, IQ CashNow, an ATM service and point-of-sale merchant solution provider, added Dash to its platform as well, onboarding over 1,000 merchants an 250 ATMs.
