Founders of the First Latin America Stablecoins Build Bloquo for Global Trade

After processing $500M in 2025, the company expands its stablecoin rails to power faster, cheaper, and more transparent global trade.

Founders Launch New Venture

The previous founders of Transfero, the company that launched Latin America’s first stablecoins, BRZ and ARZ, have unveiled their new venture: Bloquo, a stablecoin-powered infrastructure platform connecting global payments, FX, and trade finance.

Over $200 trillion in cross-border trade still runs on outdated systems. Payments take 3–5 days, rely on banking hours, and pass through costly intermediaries. Bloquo replaces this structure with an integrated network for instant settlement, liquidity, and credit. The platform allows businesses- like importers, exporters and money service solutions – to settle transactions in real time, access on-chain financing, and move funds seamlessly across currencies and borders.

Solving Cross-Border Finance Gaps

“There is no commerce without credit,” said Carlos Russo, CEO of Bloquo. “Stablecoins solved cross-border payments but not FX or trade finance. Bloquo unites them in one infrastructure built for global commerce.”

Bloquo offers a full-stack infrastructure for stablecoin adoption through two integrated products. Its institutional platform provides white-labeled, API-enabled tools for financial institutions, FX brokers, and payment providers to deliver stablecoin-powered FX liquidity and cross-border payments.

Introducing Bloquo Finance

Later this year, the company will launch Bloquo Finance, an on-chain credit and yield layer that turns idle stablecoin liquidity into productive capital through trade finance vaults backed by real-world assets (RWA): open, composable, and secure, generating tokenized yield directly from global trade.

Since its launch in 2025, Bloquo has processed over $500 million in transaction volume within six months. The platform now serves clients and partners in 30+ countries and 13 currencies, including companies such as Bybit and Conduit, among others.

Expanding Global Trade Corridors

Bloquo’s infrastructure supports key trade corridors like LatAm–US, LatAm–Asia, and US–Asia, powering payments and financing for industries ranging from import/export and payroll to digital services and tourism.

Bloquo is a stablecoin-powered infrastructure platform that unifies cross-border payments, FX, and trade finance. Built for scalability and backed by real-world assets, it enables businesses and financial institutions to power global commerce with instant payments, on-chain credit, and tokenized yield.

Funding and Future Expansion

The company raised $1.1 million in pre-seed funding in early 2025 and is now preparing its seed round to accelerate international expansion. Since launching in 2025, Bloquo has processed over $500 million in transaction volume across more than 30 countries.
