BRL/USDC FX API for the CTO of a Cross-Border Paytech: Avoiding Months of Building FX Infrastructure in Brazil
How a paytech CTO avoids months of in-house FX infrastructure by integrating the Crown FX BRL/USDC API.
Standing up your own FX infrastructure takes liquidity, integrations, regulatory compliance and a dedicated team: months away from the main product. With the Crown FX API, a CTO integrates BRL and USDC conversion through a documented interface.

Gauging integration effort. Documentation and the OpenAPI specification are at docs.crown-brlv.com. The timeline is something to confirm with Crown and test in a sandbox. Crown states the product already runs in production with real customers for this use case.
