Case Study: a Mexican e-commerce seller reduces FX risk with TransFi

How an E-Commerce Seller in Mexico Avoids Currency Risk by Converting Sales to USDC with TransFi

A Mexican e-commerce seller was facing significant challenges with currency volatility. The business, which sold goods internationally, received payments in USD but had them settled into a local peso account. This process resulted in delayed settlements of 3-5 days and FX losses of 4-6%, which severely reduced profit margins. To overcome this, the seller partnered with TransFi and used its service to convert sales into USDC.

TransFi provided a solution by integrating with the seller's platform to automatically convert online sales proceeds into USDC stablecoins. This allowed the seller to hold funds in a digital dollar, protecting them from peso devaluation, and then convert to local currency at an optimal time. The results were immediate: settlement times were reduced from days to under 30 minutes, FX fees were drastically lowered, and the business gained financial stability by hedging against currency risk.
