SDF CEO Denelle Dixon explains why LATAM fintechs like Felix Pago, Alfred, and Airtm build on Stellar: the warm, supportive ecosystem and shared focus on payments as the killer app, not blockchain hype. Conviction in cross-border payments is now validated by $65B+ annual remittance volume.
At Stellar House in Mexico City, SDF CEO Denelle Dixon discusses why payment fintechs choose Stellar. The answer isn't about the network itself but the ecosystem: warm support, real guidance, and mature infrastructure for solving actual problems. Companies like Felix Pago, Alfred, and Airtm are validating years of SDF conviction around cross-border payments and asset issuance as the killer app. While other blockchains chased meme coins and NFTs, Stellar stayed focused. Now, with the remittance market from the U.S. to Mexico alone worth $65 billion annually, that strategic focus is proving prescient. LATAM remains Stellar's home region, where builders see real problems worth solving and the ecosystem delivers real solutions.
