Visit Rio

Rio is a stablecoin liquidity provider and FX desk serving the Latin American market. It facilitates conversion between stablecoins and local currencies, with a focus on institutional clients that need to move between digital assets and regional fiat currencies. The company is based in Mexico City and operates across several LATAM markets.

Its services include Liquidity Provision and Market Making for local-currency-to-stablecoin spreads, alongside a Stablecoin FX OTC desk. The platform supports multiple stablecoins and local currencies, and provides APIs and documentation for developers to build integrations. Compliance and AML controls are a stated priority, alongside tight FX spreads and instant settlement.

Rio is aimed at institutional clients and companies building products that require stablecoin access in LATAM. The pages describe a demo and contact-based sales process rather than published self-serve plans, editions, or seat-based pricing.
