Huobi Global signs agreement with AstroPay to expand fiat-to-crypto payments to Latin America

AstroPay, the electronic payment solution of choice for millions of users worldwide, has partnered with Huobi Global, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges and digital asset trading platforms, to provide fiat-to-crypto payment services for Huobi users in Latin America.

Through the partnership, AstroPay will enable Huobi Global users to securely purchase their crypto assets with fiat money and take advantage of the local and international payment options available on AstroPay’s network.

Already one of the largest payment providers in Latin America since its inception in Brazil in 2009, AstroPay is now available worldwide with millions of registered users and is developing a rapidly growing user base in Asia, Africa and Europe. AstroPay is a simple payment solution for consumers who may not have access to traditional banking services and want to buy online from international sites. Users can easily pay in their local currency with over 200 payment methods available.

By partnering with AstroPay, Huobi Global will open the fiat-to-crypto payment option in Latin America through the AstroPay digital wallet. Users in these countries will then be able to buy and shop through a range of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, bank transfers and local alternative options, such as Pix in Brazil and SPEI in Mexico.

Lily Zhang, CFO of Huobi Group, shared: “Latin America claims a young and vibrant population full of enthusiasm for the crypto industry, and we have observed a significant increase in the number of new Huobi Global users from this region. Our collaboration with AstroPay underlines our goal to make buying and trading digital assets a safe, convenient and enjoyable experience for everyone.”

Echoing this sentiment, AstroPay Chief Commercial Officer Sara Rita says, “AstroPay is known for providing payment services for companies looking to target the diverse Latin American market. Huobi Global users will be able to buy and sell crypto assets in local currency, which which ultimately leads to more trade, higher volume and greater engagement in the sector.”
