Uruguay’s Infinia adds local-currency stablecoins for Brazil, Mexico and the UK

Infinia, the Uruguayan fintech building infrastructure that connects traditional banking networks with digital asset rails, has formally integrated major local-currency stablecoins into its Programmable Money Operating System. For high-risk merchants and PSPs, the point is practical: local settlement in BRL, MXN and GBP now sits alongside USD stablecoins, which reduces the usual mess of FX spreads and correspondent banking delays.

1. Platforms running on Infinia can now collect, convert and pay out natively using BRLA (BRL) from Brazil, MXNB (MXN) from Mexico and TGBP (GBP) from the United Kingdom, alongside USD stablecoins USDC, USDT and OUSD (Open USD).
2. Support for local stablecoins from Colombia and Argentina is scheduled for the next few months, extending the same model into two more Latin American markets where local payout mechanics matter as much as on-chain settlement.
3. The company frames the move as a shift from dollarization to mult-currency tokenization: instead of moving value from USD stablecoins into local banking systems for supplier, tax or payroll payments, firms can tokenize local currencies directly on-chain and execute instant mult-currency FX netting plus 24/7 atomic payments.
4. Infinia cites Binance Research data saying annual global stablecoin transaction volume reached a record $33 trillion, nearly double Visa’s annual volume. Fireblocks data cited in the announcement says Latin America is now the fastest-growing region globally in real stablecoin usage, with transaction volumes up 89% year on year to about $324 billion in 2025.
5. The same Fireblocks data shows 71% of Latin American institutions already use stablecoins for cross-border payments, the highest regional adoption rate in the world. It also says 90% of global companies are taking active action on stablecoins, with 46% already using them for commercial payments and 23% running active pilots.

For PSPs, acquirers and banks serving high-risk verticals, the useful detail here is not the slogan about programmable money. It is that local-currency settlement can now be pushed further upstream into the payment stack, which is exactly where merchant operations start caring about payout speed, FX cost and whether the treasury team has to babysit every corridor by hand.
