Stablecoin advisory · Latin America
Ten years building stablecoin and crypto products, now working with your team. We help you find the opportunity, pick the use case, map the vendors and have a prototype in weeks, not quarters.
The problem
“The stablecoin market […] could grow tenfold by the end of the decade.”
Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary · Treasury Market Conference, November 2025
Investors are pushing, and competitors are starting to deploy. What most teams are missing is someone inside who has done this before.
Everyone is talking about stablecoins. Few teams can say which use case fits their users, their licenses and their margins, and which one is a six-month detour.
Wallets, custody, on/off-ramps, chains, compliance. Turning a use case into a technical implementation takes someone who has integrated these products before.
Dozens of providers and product combinations. The right one depends on what your use case and your user personas actually demand, which is rarely what the best demo shows.
Evaluating providers demands technical and product knowledge: the right questions on APIs, coverage, fees and compliance. Most teams don't have it in‑house yet.
The projects on the table now move real money and real engineers. Getting this opportunity right can mean new revenue; getting it wrong, a six-month detour with no results.
What's at stake
Get them right up front and the rest is execution. Get them wrong and no amount of engineering fixes it.
The wrong one costs months of engineering on something the right advisor would have ruled out on day one. The right one is the one your users will pay for.
Fees, FX spreads, corridors, settlement times and licenses differ from one provider to the next. Across your volume, that gap can be worth millions.
A team that starts with a clear scope and someone who knows the APIs ships in weeks. A team that learns as it goes burns a quarter.
Use cases
We help you find which of these fit your users, your licenses and your economics, and which ones don't.
How we work
Take one workstream or all four. We meet you where you are, whether you're still exploring or already building.
Start here ifYou have the mandate, but no clear use case.
What have companies like yours built? Where did it work, and where didn't it? We research comparable launches, validate them with on-chain data and build the business case for yours.
Start here ifYou know what to build, but not with whom.
We map every relevant provider for your use case and score them on economics, coverage, compliance and integration effort. You get the questions to ask each one, and the intros.
Start here ifYour vendors are chosen and you need something to test.
A working prototype on the chosen stack, to put in front of users and stakeholders before you commit a team. Plus the architecture and plan your engineers pick up from there.
Start here ifYou're already building and need senior hands on the rollout.
We stay with your team through the pilot, bring in our local legal counsel where regulation calls for it, and help you hire the person who will own this in‑house.
Our prototypes can go as deep as you need: from a simple proof of concept to a fully functional MVP, depending on access to your repositories and your engineering team's involvement.
Why us
Here is how we compare on the things that decide whether a stablecoin project pays off.
| Espacio Advisory | Hire a team from scratch | Global strategy firm | Vendor sales team | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time to a first decision | Weeks | Months to hire and ramp up | Months | Months |
| Has integrated stablecoin infrastructure | Yes, for years | Rarely at the start | Rarely | Their own stack |
| Compares every vendor | Yes | The ones they know | Yes | No |
| Knows LATAM fintech & regulation | Yes, with local counsel | Depends on the hire | Global lens | Varies |
| Something you can test | A working prototype | After the first build | A slide deck | A sandbox demo |
| How it's paid | You, a fixed fee | Payroll, ongoing | You, premium rates | Your future volume |
Vendor sales teams are excellent once you know what you need. We get you there, then hand you over with the right questions. You will still want someone in‑house for the long run; we help you hire them.

Questions
Yes. For the past eight years we have worked in stablecoin and crypto product companies. We have built wallet infrastructure, launched on- and off-ramps and set up treasuries, working closely with the top vendors in the industry.
We build as far as you want us to: from a proof of concept to a fully functional MVP. How far we go depends on what you need and whether we can work in your repositories alongside your engineers.
No. No commissions, no referral fees, no revenue share. We are paid by our clients only.
We work with local law firms we trust, and bring them in whenever your use case needs a legal read in your market.
Across Latin America, with a focus on Mexico and Brazil. We work in English and Spanish.
A fixed fee per engagement, scoped after the first call. We price against what the same work would cost you in team time, and it should be an easy call on that math.
Book 30 minutes. Tell us what you are being asked to do with stablecoins, and we will tell you where we would start, and whether you need us at all.
