Binance Launches Medá, a Licensed Payments Unit in Mexico With 1 Billion-Peso Investment

The IFPE will run independently under Mexican oversight to establish regulated peso rails for Binance users.

Overview

  • Binance committed more than 1 billion Mexican pesos (about $53 million) over the next four years to build out Medá.
  • Medá is authorized to process deposits, withdrawals, and transfers in Mexican pesos within the Binance ecosystem.
  • The entity operates separately from Binance’s global exchange, aligning with regulatory expectations and linking to traditional banking rails.
  • Binance says the initiative is designed to broaden financial inclusion and increase competition in Mexico while positioning the country as its Latin America hub.
  • The move expands Binance’s licensed footprint across more than 20 jurisdictions, including France, Japan, and Brazil.
