Announcing Vita Wallet

Vita Wallet, a leading platform for international money transfers, has officially partnered with Dfns. This partnership will empower Vita Wallet users across Latin America to send and receive low-cost, instant payments in Bitcoin or stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). The integration of Dfns’ advanced wallet infrastructure marks a significant leap forward in providing secure, decentralized financial services to individuals and businesses in Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, and beyond.

Stablecoins are liberating Latin America

In LATAM, where inflation and currency instability are ongoing challenges, stablecoins have become a powerful tool for financial stability. Stablecoins, pegged to reliable assets such as the US dollar, offer an efficient and cost-effective way to transfer money across borders. Unlike traditional remittance services, which often come with high fees and long processing times, stablecoins enable fast and secure transactions that bypass conventional banking hurdles through the use of blockchain technology.

According to recent data from the World Bank, the region receives around $150 billion in remittances annually, a figure that continues to grow. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC (but also Agora’s AUSD, Paxos’ USDP and Mountain Protocol’s USDM) are becoming increasingly popular, offering a safer alternative for people trying to preserve their savings and conduct daily transactions in economies grappling with hyperinflation. This growth in crypto adoption positions platforms like Vita Wallet at the forefront of financial transformation in the region.

Vita Wallet is redefining payments in LATAM

Since its founding in 2019 by Venezuelan brothers Joel and Moisés Zambrano, Vita Wallet has redefined how people in LATAM manage their money. With over 135,000 users and 650 businesses across several countries, Vita Wallet processes over $60 million in monthly transactions using cryptocurrencies. The platform’s ability to deliver fast, low-cost international transfers—in minutes—has made it indispensable for people sending money to and from countries like China, the US, the UK, and Latin America.

Available on web and mobile, Vita Wallet lets users send money internationally and buy or sell cryptocurrencies with ease. Its mission is clear: to give users financial freedom to manage their money anytime, anywhere, with just an internet connection and a smartphone or laptop. Signing up is easy:
