Latin American e-commerce platform Mercado Libre is reportedly phasing out Mercado Coin, launched in August 2022, which offered cashback and other perks to users.

According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, users must sell or spend their loyalty coin balances through the Mercado Pago app before April 17. If no action is taken, the balances will be converted to Brazilian reals. 

Cointelegraph reached out to Mercado Libre for comment.

Brazil has been the main market for Mercado Coin, which enables users to earn tokens as cash back when buying products on Mercado Libre, considered to be the “Amazon of Latin America.”

The shutdown of Mercado Coin doesn’t spell the end of crypto rewards for Mercado Libre users, as the e-commerce platform still offers Meli Dolar (MUSD), a US-dollar stablecoin launched in 2024.

Mercado Libre customers use MUSD for everyday transactions and peer-to-peer payments on the platform, while subscribers to Meli+ can also receive cash back on MUSD purchases. 

Data from Mercado Libre’s latest attestation report on Feb. 28 shows that MUSD balances are backed by $75 million worth of assets.

Nubank’s Nucoin collapsed in 2024

Launching in-house utility coins in Latin America has proven to be a tough task.

Nubank, Brazil’s largest bank, launched the Polygon-based Nucoin in late 2022 and airdropped tokens to much of its more than 100 million customer base shortly after. 

However, the token’s value collapsed 97% by September 2024, forcing Nubank to suspend trading of the token.

Nubank started restructuring its loyalty program for Nucoin in July, stripping out its market-based features and repositioning it as a rewards program focused on engagement, perks and in-app benefits.

Mercado Libre has held strong on its Bitcoin

Meanwhile, Mercado Libre continues to hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a treasury asset, with 570.4 Bitcoin worth $38.85 million marked on its balance sheet, BitcoinTreasuries.NET data shows.

Mercado Libre was one of the earlier corporations to invest in Bitcoin, making its first purchase in 2021.

The e-commerce platform hasn’t sold since and is up nearly 77% on its Bitcoin investment, having purchased the coins at an average price of $38,569.

Bitcoin Steady as Fed Cuts Interest Rates for First Time Since December

Bitcoin Steady as Fed Cuts Interest Rates for First Time Since December

The post Bitcoin Steady as Fed Cuts Interest Rates for First Time Since December appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief The Federal Reserve had kept interest rates unchanged since last December. U.S. President Donald Trump has been hammering the Fed to cut rates. Crypto and other assets typically benefit from rate cuts that increase financial liquidity. The U.S. central bank, as widely expected, cut the federal funds rate by 0.25% Wednesday, amid recent signs that the economy was faltering and needed a boost—and under relentless pressure from President Donald Trump. Bitcoin and other major digital assets traded largely flat  in the immediate aftermath. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was recently changing hands just above $116,000, up 0.2% over the past hour hours, according to crypto markets data provider CoinGecko. BTC rallied in recent days with investors possibly pricing in the anticipated decision. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, was trading at $4,501, flat over the same period. The Fed slashed the interest rate to a range between 4% and 4.25% after a downward revision in a Department of Labor report showing that the U.S had created 911,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for a year-long period ending in March, and other concerning economic signs. “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated,” the Fed noted in a statement. Those concerns outweighed the threat of inflation, which has risen to 2.9% on an annual basis, stubbornly above the bank’s longstanding 2% goal. Newly sworn-in governor Stephen Miran, a White House appointee, dissented from the decision, voting for a .50% rate cut. The Fed has a dual mission to keep inflation low and ensure full employment. In Telegram message to Decrypt, Noelle Acheson, the author of the Crypto Is Macro Now newsletter, wrote that the big deal wasn’t the expected rate cut but updated economic forecasts from Fed officials, showing that central bankers are “getting more nervous about the…
