dLocal and BVNK partner to power faster global payouts with stablecoins

Montevideo, Uruguay – June 24, 2025 dLocal (NASDAQ: DLO), the leading cross-border payment platform specializing in emerging markets and BVNK, the stablecoin payments infrastructure provider for global enterprises and PSPs, today announced a strategic partnership that enables faster, programmable, and more cost-effective money movement across 40+ markets.

Through the dual partnership:

  • BVNK will provide stablecoin payment rails to dLocal, allowing them to offer faster settlements to their global merchant base.
  • dLocal will offer BVNK access to fiat payout rails via its Layer1 platform, expanding BVNK’s emerging markets coverage in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Customers will be able to fund cross-border payments using stablecoins and have them delivered to recipients in local currencies - seamlessly, and at scale.

“dLocal is constantly exploring ways to expand access and improve settlement times for our clients,” said John O’Brien, CRO at dLocal. By integrating BVNK’s stablecoin capabilities, we can offer even faster, borderless payments - without compromising compliance or control.

“With Layer1, we’re building a programmable payments network that connects stablecoins with trusted local payout rails,” said Chris Harmse, Co-founder at BVNK. “By integrating leading providers like dLocal, we’re unlocking seamless, compliant value transfer into some of the most complex markets in the world.”

A proven model for stablecoin-enabled payments

The announcement builds on a relationship first established in 2022, when dLocal became one of the first global PSPs to implement stablecoin-based payments.

What started as a treasury use case has since evolved into a broader model for merchant funding and global payouts. 

Together, the companies are building a new layer of financial interoperability - connecting blockchain-native value transfer with regulated, fiat-based local settlement rails across 40+ markets.
