Treasury & FX

A Colombian vendor's invoice in US dollars almost always carries a Colombian peso equivalent too. That is not a formatting error, it is a DIAN requirement.

Brazil's IOF tax on foreign exchange changes by decree and the rate depends on the declared purpose of the transaction. Here is what is confirmed in official rules and what still needs to be checked transaction by transaction.

Foreign exchange for a company operating with Brazil is not a single quote: it runs through a câmbio contract, an authorized institution, IOF, and, since October 2026, a wider foreign currency account for legal entities.

There is no single FX hedging instrument. The right choice depends on exposure, timing and company size, and it changes from one Latin American country to the next.

OTC in crypto is not a trading market. It is a quote requested on demand, with a firm price and a short validity window, built to convert treasury balances without touching an order book.

The term shows up in every guide to Colombia's exchange regime, but almost none explain when a company operating in Colombia actually needs to open a compensation account, or the administrative load that comes with it.

A foreign company operating in Colombia cannot open a USD deposit account at a local bank. These are the four routes that actually exist, and how to pick between them.

Since 2024 Argentina has a legal figure for virtual asset service providers and a registry run by the securities regulator. That changes the ground for importers, though it does not touch the layer that hurts most.

The Dominican Republic has three engines that earn foreign currency: free zones, tourism and exported services. All three share the same collection friction and all three can attack it the same way, with limits worth stating up front.

Panama already operates in dollars, yet paying an overseas supplier still travels through a chain of correspondent banks. This guide covers how that payment runs in USDC and what documentation supports it.

The 2019 agenda decision on cryptocurrencies does not automatically settle the USDC case, because it describes assets with no issuer and no contract. That gap forces the entity to form its own judgement and disclose it.

Collecting from a US client in USDC is a procedure with concrete steps: agree the payment method, hand over the paperwork the payer needs, issue the invoice, share the payment link and reconcile against the on-chain identifier.

Nearshoring is multiplying dollar invoices to US clients. Collecting them in USDC settles in minutes, keeps treasury in dollars and leaves every payment traceable on-chain.

The Colombian peso has swung between 1,860 and over 5,000 per dollar in a decade. Holding part of working capital in digital dollars is risk management, not a bet.

In a dollarized economy, USDC is the same dollar in digital form. How to collect from abroad and pay suppliers in minutes, and what Ecuadorian regulation requires.

A stablecoin payment is documented differently than a wire. This guide translates address, hash, network, confirmations and gas into the language of the month-end close.

USDC and USDT are not interchangeable for a corporate treasury. They differ in issuer, reserves, regulatory standing and real liquidity per corridor. This guide compares both with official sources.

Importers and foreign-trade firms in Chile can pay suppliers abroad in USDC, settling in minutes with on-chain traceability for reconciliation.

A Mexican company can collect from overseas clients in USDC and manage it as a digital-dollar treasury, without waiting days for a SWIFT transfer.

Neither SWIFT nor stablecoins win every time. We weigh both rails on cost, speed and risk so you can pick the right one for each payment.

A hands-on guide for CFOs: record USDC inflows and outflows, lock in the day's exchange rate, and tie the general ledger back to the on-chain statement.
