🎉 Bolivia🇧🇴: Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz launches the KOIN digital wallet

Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz, Bolivia's largest private bank, has launched KOIN, the country's first digital asset wallet developed and backed by a private banking institution. The initiative aims to become a leading digital asset solution not only in Bolivia but across the region.

❤️ KOIN is designed to eliminate the technical barriers that have traditionally hindered blockchain adoption, offering a secure, intuitive, and user-friendly experience for everyday transactions.

❤️ The wallet is built on the Ethereum and Polygon networks using the ERC-20 standard. It primarily supports USDC, while also offering compatibility with USDT, which is widely used in Bolivia.

❤️ Technology partners:

🟡 Argentina's Koibanx🇦🇷, a blockchain solutions provider serving banks, fintech companies, Latin American governments, and large enterprises.

🟡 ATC (Red Enlace), Bolivia's electronic payments network for ATMs and POS terminals.

🟡 Visa, enabling merchants to accept stablecoin payments.

❤️ Key features:

🟡 QR code payments, wallet-to-wallet transfers within the KOIN ecosystem, and cash withdrawals at ATMs.

🟡 A managed custody service, eliminating the need for users to manage their own private cryptographic keys.

🟡 Multi-layer security, including data encryption, continuous monitoring, fraud prevention mechanisms, and biometric authentication.

❤️ Context: Santa Cruz de la Sierra, founded in 1561, has a population of 1,610,982. It is Bolivia's most connected city in terms of internet access and is widely recognized for hosting one of the country's largest and most traditional annual carnival celebrations.
