It happened · US → Mexico
|
PTX Exchange is live: our first remittances to Mexico settled in under 1 minute. The traditional financial system was never designed with the immigrant in mind. When we created PTX Exchange, the mission was clear: end the bureaucratic delays and hidden fees families face when sending their hard-earned money home. This month we proved it works. Using blockchain rails, our first transfers to Mexico settled in under 1 minute — not the 1–3 business days you wait with a traditional bank wire, and not the 3–5 days some platforms still quote for cross-border payouts.

first corridor — more coming |
| |
Mexico is the first corridor. The same rails are being prepared to serve the rest of Latin America — including the routes that matter most to our community: Brazil, Colombia, and beyond.
| |
THE BOTTOM LINE
If you send money to Mexico today, you no longer have to accept “it arrives in a few days” as normal. Read the full launch coverage in Diário Brasil USA (link below) and watch this space — your corridor is next.

Behind the scenes · Infrastructure
|
Why PTX Group chose Unblock to power your transfers across Latin America. Settling one corridor fast is an achievement. Scaling that across all of Latin America — globally, quickly, and in full regulatory compliance — requires the best infrastructure in the market. That’s why we chose Unblock as our official partner. Unblock is a stablecoin API that connects blockchain rails directly to local payment systems across Latin America. Here’s what that means for you in practice:
| |
| ⚡ |
Speed and efficiency: instant conversion between fiat currencies and stablecoins like USDC and USDT — in both directions. |
| 🏢 |
Local infrastructure: virtual accounts for local collection and seamless wallet management for the people receiving your money. |
| 🔒 |
Security and fair pricing: currency exchange without the traditional middlemen who inflate the cost with abusive spreads. |
| |
Unblock just raised a US$ 4.5 million Seed round to accelerate stablecoin adoption in payments and FX across Latin America, backed by global players like Alliance DAO (NYC) and Plug & Play (Silicon Valley). They understand the urgency of this innovation — the same way we do.
|
“At PTX Group, rule number one is still doing right by the customer. With Unblock’s infrastructure behind the scenes, we’re building the fastest, safest financial bridge between the US and Latin America.”

Heads-up · Your money
|
Sending money to Brazil? A tax change may be quietly raising your costs. In recent months, changes to the rules and taxation of international financial transactions have made many Brazilians pay more without noticing. Depending on the platform you use, fees, FX spreads, and taxes can significantly shrink the amount that actually arrives. 📊 The difference may look small on a single transfer — but over a year it adds up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars lost.
| |
| 💲 |
Compare total cost, not the advertised fee — taxes and spreads hide in the exchange rate. |
| ⏱️ |
Check the delivery time — “free” transfers that take days have a cost too. |
| 📉 |
Look at the real exchange rate — what matters is not what you send, but what actually arrives. |
| |
| |
THE BOTTOM LINE
Before your next transfer to Brazil, run the numbers on total cost, delivery time, and the real exchange rate. We’re breaking this down in detail on our Instagram (link below) — follow along for what’s coming next from PTX Exchange.
