With Revolut officially launching full banking operations in Mexico, the “Fintech opportunity” just entered a new phase.

The narrative around Mexico's fintech potential has been around for years, but we're now moving from theoretical promise (usually found in VC fundraising decks) to real-world competition between some of the best fintech players in the world.

Nubank had the first-mover advantage and proved that the opportunity was real. In no time, Mexico became its fastest-growing market outside Brazil, with massive adoption.

That success caught the attention of serious contenders globally. Last year, Plata’s meteoric rise came as a surprise and should be taken seriously. It’s backed by a world-class fintech team and has access to significant capital to support its ambition.

Today, after a faux départ caused by a very slow regulatory processes (welcome to Mexico), Europe’s most aggressive fintech is jumping into the arena. And Revolut is entering in the strongest possible position: with a full banking license and serious capital behind it.

Nu gained market share by being the first credible neobank in the country, offering a product 10x better than incumbents (which, no shade to their merit, wasn’t that difficult).

But when I compare my European Revolut account to my friends’ Mexican Nu accounts, Revolut's product is notably superior. I haven’t tested Plata yet, so can’t comment there.

What I do know for sure is that all three have cracked product and engineering teams, and very competitive, ambitious founders. None of them will want to be left behind, and that's promise a fierce competition to be the winner.

Who knows, maybe in a few years, Mexico could go from having one of the worst banking systems in the world to one of the most advanced, thanks to these very same fintech players.

For a startup nerd like me, this is going to be fascinating to watch 🍿

While the world is throwing billions at AI, Mexico’s still playing its favorite card: Fintech.

Why? Because the fundamentals haven’t changed.

70% of the country runs on cash. Trust in traditional banks is at an all-time low. And whoever cracks the code is in for a serious payday.

Last week, Klar pulled in a US$190 million Series C at a near-unicorn valuation, while Plata (already a unicorn after its Series A) raised US$120 million in senior unsecured bonds.

We might not be getting an OpenAI from Mexico anytime soon… but the race to build the “Mexican Nubank” is heating up fast.

🌍Historic speech by MST leader at the BRICS Summit

João Pedro Stedile (@stedile_mst), leader of Brazil’s Landless Rural Workers’ Movement (@MST_Oficial), delivered a landmark address at the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro — the first time that there was civil society participation in a heads-of-state session in the summit’s history.

Speaking on behalf of the BRICS Civil Council — referred to in Brazil as the “Popular Council” — Stedile presented policy proposals developed by seven thematic working groups focused on health, education, ecology, culture, finance, digital sovereignty, and human rights. Over 120 organizations contributed to the process, with key demands compiled into a document submitted to BRICS leaders.

The MST leader warned that the world is facing a serious crisis of Western-led global governance, threatening democracy and national sovereignty. “If we are to save human civilization,” Stedile stated, “we must build new mechanisms of international cooperation.”

He also called for taxing large fortunes, stronger regulation of speculative capital in tax havens, and for the New Development Bank (NDB), led by Dilma Rousseff, to support grassroots social projects directly.

Bitso plans to launch a MXNB stablecoin 🇲🇽

Bitso Business, a division of the Mexican cryptocurrency exchange @Bitso , has announced plans to launch MXNB, a stablecoin pegged to the Mexican peso, on the Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum.

MXNB will be issued and managed by Juno, a newly established subsidiary of Bitso, and will be fully backed by Mexican pesos on a one-to-one basis.

Ben Reid, head of stablecoins at Bitso Business, highlighted that MXNB aims to facilitate foreign investment and trade in Latin America by offering a more efficient alternative to traditional financial infrastructures.

Juno will operate independently, conducting regular audits and providing public attestation reports on MXNB's reserves.

This initiative aligns with the growing trend of cryptocurrency-based remittances in Mexico, which, according to the World Bank, received US$61 billion in remittances last year.
