How to Buy Cryptocurrency Using PIX in Brazil
Introduction
For many Brazilians, crypto offers a very useful tool to interact with investments and payments in the thriving South American nation. Brazil is currently one of the top five countries with the largest number of crypto investors, with over 16 million users, which is approximately 7.8% of the population.
What is PIX?
With this rising interest in cryptocurrency, the payment infrastructure to enable fiat on-ramps is vital for the market. That is where PIX comes in. Launched in 2020, PIX is an instant payment platform created and managed by the monetary authority of Brazil, the Central Bank of Brazil, which enables the quick execution of payments and transfers.
It is a structured ecosystem that allows payments to be made instantly using users' PIX keys i.e. such as their CPF number, e-mail address, cell phone number, random keys (a randomly generated UUID), and a QR code (static or dynamic). Companies will typically have to use their CNPJ number to make PIX payments connected to the specific transaction account.
