BitPagos has announced a partnership with Latin American e-commerce solutions provider Entrepids that will enable its merchant partners to opt into accepting bitcoin payments as well as receiving bitcoin in exchange for fiat payment.
Based in Mexico, Entrepids specializes in helping businesses establish an omnichannel e-commerce presence, offering Google Analytics integration, website design and support and training to regional clients including US electronics giant Best Buy Mexico and upscale Mexican department store chain El Palacio de Hierro.

CEO Sebastian Serrano indicated that, as part of the partnership, Entrepids will play a role in helping encourage its merchants to sign up for its service.
Serrano told CoinDesk:
"From this point, the next phase is to go after these larger clients to integrate our platform into their system, but this makes it very, very easy. We have done the big part of all the technology integration so it's going to be super easy for clients to add bitcoin payments."
Serrano acknowledged that while the Entrepids partnership marks his firm's first major technology provider partnership, such a path seems to be a larger focus for US-based processors, which have integrated with platforms like CardinalCommerce and Shopify.
Serrano went on to explain that BitPagos intends to take a balanced approach, one that targets both small merchants as well as larger online retailers in Latin America.
"It's important to push for bitcoin in these kinds of deals so that we start having an impact on overall e-commerce. But, we need people to be able to pay the local restaurant and taxi driver, too," he said.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
