By Latin America News · March 29, 2023 · 1 min read

After Brazil, MercadoPago also offers Bitcoin and Ethereum in Chile.

Chile is thus the third country in Latin America to receive crypto services from MercadoPago, the payment app from MercadoLibre.

The new feature will immediately allow the purchase, sale, and custody of the market’s two leading cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Chileans can buy cryptocurrencies on the online payment platform starting at CLP$50, with their funds in their accounts within the app.

Along with the launch of the new service, MercadoPago will also publish educational content on its app about the crypto ecosystem to guide those still laypeople in this market.

The service was developed in collaboration with Ripio, a platform for buying and selling cryptocurrencies, which includes the BitcoinTrade exchange.
