“Demand for cryptocurrency in Colombia has been surging in recent years. But there’s reason to believe it could even be understated due to a lack of accessible options for consumer adoption; to be part of a solution that extends its rise even further is an exciting new frontier for Pundi X.”

Colombia’s Cryptocurrency Push

Despite its weak economic presence in the world of traditional finance, Colombia highly-ranks in cryptocurrency lists, in terms of activity and developments, and was ranked as 2017’s fastest growing Bitcoin market by Forbes. The publication also named the Latin American country in the world’s top ten active Bitcoin markets list.

Meanwhile, Ivan Correa, CEO of Manticora Capital stated:

“Difficult conditions in local banking and investment have combined to make Colombia a hugely dynamic market for cryptocurrency usage.”

Correa added market research for Bitcoin transactions revealed a stark lack of payment and conversion outlets, despite a solid demand for crypto-products. The firm categorized this “lack of opportunity” as a perfect gap for investing in Pundi X and augmenting its business.

Joao Victor Mendes, the manager for Pundi X South America, added:

“Manticora Capital’s established business network will make XPOS a successful rollout in Colombia. We look forward to seeing cryptocurrencies become more accessible in the country.”
