BTG Pactual, a leading Brazilian investment bank\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, has introduced a new platform that allows consumers to invest directly in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTG Pactual's Mynt platform presently allows customers to buy Bitcoin <\/a>and Ether<\/a>, with the bank indicating that it plans to extend support for more crypto assets in the future. BTG Pactual's head of digital assets, Andre Porthilo, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt this first moment, we will have the two main assets of the market<\/a>, but we will include other cryptos for trading over time. We will have a complete platform with blockchain-based assets.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Roberto Sallouti, the CEO of BTG Pactual, stated that the company's creation was in response to “demand from our customers who wish to trade cryptocurrency.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a new asset class, Sallouti stated that Mynt would offer educational content meant to inform new users about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. He continued, “As a new asset class, we will also have content to educate and inform our customers about these assets and the technology.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by The Rio Times, BTC Pactual has become the first major Brazilian financial institution to allow its customers to \u201cparticipate directly\u201d in the cryptocurrency asset markets as a result of Mynt's introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porthilo said that the bank's standing as a financial institution that is licensed by both the Brazilian Securities Commission and the local central bank will provide legitimacy to the country's developing cryptocurrency industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding, “With the support of BTG Pactual, Mynt has fundamental differentials in security and credibility [\u2014] characteristics that are fundamental in a new category of investments that the majority of people [are] not yet familiar with.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that Mynt is the bank's first entrance into the cryptocurrency <\/a>market, BTG Pactual has already launched its real estate-backed security token ReitBZ in 2019, following a two-year investigation into digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTG Pactual also made history by becoming the first Brazilian investment bank to launch a cryptocurrency fund in April of this year, when it unveiled its Bitcoin 20 Multi-Market Investment Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
