Promote with Leviathan NewsBinance has launched Medá, a new, independently operated Electronic Payment Funds Institution (IFPE) in Mexico, backed by a planned investment of over 1 billion Mexican pesos (about $53 million) over four years. Medá is authorized under Mexico’s fintech regulatory framework and will focus on peso deposit and withdrawal services that connect local users and businesses to Binance’s global digital asset ecosystem. Under the authorization of Mexico’s National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), Medá is positioned as a regulated fintech payment processor rather than a crypto exchange, aiming to expand access to low-cost digital financial services and improve financial inclusion in a market where banking and payment services are highly concentrated. As an IFPE, Medá can receive and hold electronic funds, process payments, and facilitate fiat on/off-ramps in Mexican pesos for users interacting with Binance, effectively bridging traditional finance and digital assets while strengthening Binance’s regulatory footprint in Latin America. Binance frames the initiative as part of a broader Latin American strategy, using Mexico as a regional fintech hub and transaction-processing center in pesos. By operating Medá with its own management team and under local regulatory oversight, Binance aims to demonstrate compliance and long-term commitment in a jurisdiction that has been tightening rules for crypto platforms, while competing with incumbents by offering more competitive, digital-first payment and remittance services.
