最新报道:Brazil's central bank has launched Pix, a new instant payment system that processed over 1 billion transactions in its first year, accelerating the country's de-dollarization efforts. The system allows free, 24/7 transfers between individuals and businesses using QR codes or mobile numbers, reducing reliance on US dollar transactions. With 124 million users—over half Brazil's population—Pix has become the second most used payment method after credit cards. The central bank plans to expand Pix internationally in 2024, potentially challenging the dollar's dominance in cross-border payments across Latin America.
