Functionality already familiar to 174 million Brazilians increases usability and can boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country, says Regional VP Guilherme Nazar

SÃO PAULO, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency platform by trading volume and number of users, has integrated its payment solution, Binance Pay, with Brazil’s Pix system to enable instant payments in the local currency using cryptocurrencies and transfers to any individual or merchant across Latin America’s largest country.

With the integration, Binance users in Brazil can now make instant transfers and payments directly from their accounts on the Binance exchange to any bank account or pay merchants accepting Pix. The value of the digital asset is instantly converted to Brazilian reais with transactions completed in seconds. Supporting over 100 cryptocurrencies, this launch marks the integration of Binance Pay with Brazil’s widely used national Pix payment network — bringing crypto into everyday life and making it easier for users to spend digital assets in real-world transactions.

Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, says: “Integrating Pix, a remarkable development by the government of Brazil, with Binance Pay marks a revolutionary step forward, combining the speed and accessibility of Brazil’s instant payment system with the global reach and innovation of Binance. This synergy empowers users with seamless, real-time transactions, enhancing the crypto experience and driving financial inclusion to new heights.”

Guilherme Nazar, Binance’s regional vice president for Latin America, adds: “This is a significant milestone because it is the first time Binance Pay is integrated into a national payment system in the world. It allows our users in Brazil to use their cryptocurrencies for payments at any commercial establishment and to anyone in the country, quickly, safely and easily, using a system they are already familiar with. This launch makes cryptocurrencies more accessible and usable in everyday life, and reflects Binance’s commitment to customizing its global products to meet the demands of our local users.”

Pix, an instant payment service launched by the Central Bank of Brazil, has been gaining the preference of Brazilians since its launch in 2020. Currently, more than 174 million people and many institutions use the service in the country and carry out around 6 billion transactions per month, according to data from the authority.

According to the survey “Brazilians and their Relationship with Money“, released by the Central Bank, Pix is already used by 76.4% of the Brazilian population, surpassing the use of cash (68.9%) and debit cards (69.1%).

“Payments are one of the most obvious uses of cryptocurrencies. The integration of Binance Pay with Pix makes cryptocurrency payments more intuitive and familiar to Brazilians who are already accustomed to the Central Bank’s tool, and consequently boosts the growth of digital asset adoption in the country”, adds Nazar.

Brazil is the 6th-largest market in cryptocurrency adoption in the world, with around 17.5% of the population already owning some type of digital asset, according to data from the Triple-A consultancy. A recent survey conducted by Instituto Locomotiva for Binance showed that 42% of Brazilian investors already have exposure to digital assets, a percentage equal to that of those who own investment funds and stocks.

SINGAPORE, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As mid-May unfolds, crypto market sentiment continues to rise. While major assets trend steadily upward, capital is beginning to rotate into fundamentally solid altcoins. In this edition of HTX DeepThink, Chloe (@ChloeTalk1) from HTX Research shares her macro outlook and strategic insights, with a spotlight on rotation opportunities across the SUI ecosystem and the emerging AttentionFi sector.

Macro Outlook: Rising Bullish Sentiment Amidst Steady Short-Term Uptrend

This week’s U.S. economic calendar is light on major data releases. Market attention is primarily directed towards Federal Reserve officials’ interpretations of recent commentary suggesting a possible single interest rate cut in 2025.

Analysis of options market data shows a prevailing bullish sentiment: the Call/Put open interest ratio has reached 1.55, accompanied by increasing premiums for call options. At the same time, short-term implied volatility (IV) has dropped to a new 18-month low of 35–40%.

In short: the market is experiencing “euphoric sentiment amid calm volatility.” Under such conditions, Bitcoin could retest new highs within the next 30–45 days, targeting the $105K–$115K range. However, this mix of high sentiment and low volatility often conceals the build-up of excessive leverage. A sudden surge in IV or a meaningful drop below $100K could trigger a sharp deleveraging event.

Strategic Positioning: Capital Rotation into High-Quality Altcoins for Momentum Capture

From a capital allocation perspective, rotating a portion of capital into fundamentally strong and liquid altcoins may present an opportunity to capitalize on potential spillover momentum from Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. This edition of HTX DeepThink highlights promising sectors and projects worthy of investor attention.

SUI Ecosystem: All-Time High Market Cap, Undervalued Core Project

The SUI chain has reached an all-time high in market cap, but its ecosystem projects have yet to follow with substantial gains. This opens a window for early positioning in undervalued ecosystem leaders. HTX has listed two standout projects within the SUI ecosystem: Haedal and Bluefin.

• Haedal is the dominant LST (liquid staking) protocol on SUI, commanding 76% of market share and benefiting from strong network effects.
• Bluefin, SUI’s flagship perpetual DEX, currently holds a market cap of only $31.6M yet has achieved an annualized revenue of $8.2M, implying a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of just 3.8x—far lower than GMX (9.1x) and Drift (12.4x). The upcoming V2 upgrade will introduce veTokenomics and new trading incentives, potentially boosting both user activity and protocol revenues.

Given the rising attention on SUI’s mainnet, Haedal and Bluefin appear to exhibit dual potential for valuation recovery and Beta-driven upside, which may warrant mid-term attention from market participants.

AttentionFi: Capitalizing on Bull Market User Acquisition Premium

New Web3 projects are launching rapidly, and the cost of user acquisition is soaring. In traditional channels like Telegram, Google, or Red Note, user acquisition cost (UAC) is calculated via “traffic × conversion rate.” With CPCs at $0.5–1.0 and conversion rates around 10%, it can cost $5–10 to acquire a real, retained user.

Kaito offers a far more efficient “attention engine.” Its API charges based on a combination of reputation score and meaningful engagement. As a result, project teams can acquire real users with 3–4x higher retention at just $2–3 per user—much lower than traditional channels. With this model, Kaito has grown rapidly, expanding from 30 to 120 integrated projects in the past three months, and quadrupling API call volume.

Meanwhile, $KAITO staking has surged to 19.7M tokens, and the protocol has cumulatively bought back and burned 3.7M tokens, creating a strong demand-supply mismatch and deflationary pressure that supports higher price ceilings.

On Base chain’s IDO platform Virtuals, users who stake ?5,000 $KAITO can earn Virgen Points to redeem IDO allocations. Several recent IDOs have seen 10–30x returns on day one, forming a lucrative loop: stake ? points ? arbitrage.

With the recent listing of $KAITO on HTX, its liquidity is expanding—and in a bull market where competition for user attention intensifies, Kaito’s combination of low-cost, high-precision targeting and deflationary tokenomics makes it a promising asset to watch.

Butterfly Strategy Committee Chief Advisor Mark provided an in-depth analysis of the protocol’s innovative design. Butterfly addresses the dual needs of asset security and growth in the current crypto market through its unique “dual-wing” architecture:

“Butterfly Protocol represents more than just a technical breakthrough,” Mark explained. “It embodies our commitment to users – ensuring their assets remain both secure and positioned for growth in the Web3 ecosystem.”
