How Bitso is Empowering Investors in Mexico with Commission-Free Trading of US Stocks
Blog post from Alpaca
In Latin America, traditional financial systems often exclude the majority of the population from wealth-building tools due to structural barriers such as high minimum investment requirements and restrictive market hours. Bitso, a leading digital financial services company in the region, has launched US stocks and ETFs trading in Mexico in partnership with Alpaca to address these challenges. This collaboration aims to democratize investment by offering commission-free and fractional trading, allowing individuals to enter global markets with minimal capital. The integration of features like 24/5 trading further accommodates the diverse schedules of Latin American workers, making investing more accessible. Bitso's broader mission is to provide a comprehensive investment platform that empowers over 9 million clients to build wealth through a diversified set of financial tools, including crypto and US equities. Looking ahead, Bitso and Alpaca plan to expand their offerings with advanced features, enhancing the flexibility and resilience of portfolios for Latin American investors.
