Delivery service Rappi has launched a pilot program in Mexico to accept cryptocurrency payments

The inclusion of this cryptocurrency responds to the expansion of the digital world and users looking for new ways to connect with the application. Commenting on the relevance of innovation and cryptocurrency to the company's future, Rappi president Sebastián Mejia said

Innovation is one of Rappi's pillars. We are studying the crypto world with great interest and we believe that the future is where the crypto world meets the non-crypto companies, where the user experience is simple and uncomplicated.

Crypto implementations and other cases of crypto inclusion

While the pilot program is still in its early stages, the company did manage to indicate that it is working with local exchanges to further integrate their services and make it easier for consumers to use their cryptocurrency in the app. Rappi listed Bitso and Bitpay, both of which have operations in the country, as participants in this regard.

Rappi also said the company's goal is to improve the security of transactions between exchanges and apps. Other companies in Latin America are also looking to incorporate cryptocurrencies into their business models. Such is the case of Nequi, a Colombian financial platform that intends to enter the country's crypto market.
