At Lama, our vision has always been clear: to build a financial infrastructure where technology adapts to the user, not the other way round. To date, we have shown that it is possible to bring together the strength of Bitcoin and the traditional payments system through our Visa Card and platforms such as Apple Pay.
However, the maturity of the digital asset ecosystem demands flexibility. Users, both businesses and individuals, need a range of tools to protect their capital, manage treasuries and diversify their liquidity.
That is why today we are announcing the next major step in our technical evolution: the official release of Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) wallets for all our clients, both Personal and Business.
The strategic value of diversification
The integration of these new assets into our infrastructure is no coincidence; it responds to specific needs in the Latin American and global markets:
- USDC and USDT (Digital Dollars): The inclusion of stablecoins marks a turning point, especially for our Business clients. It enables companies and users to protect their capital against market volatility, making it easier to manage treasuries, supplier payments and cross-border remittances with 1:1 parity to the US dollar.
- Ethereum (ETH): We are enabling access to the backbone of decentralised finance (DeFi) and smart contracts, allowing our users to store and transact with the world's second-largest digital asset.
- Shiba Inu (SHIB): We are responding to strong transactional demand and community volume by integrating tokens with high liquidity and broad retail adoption.
A comprehensive ecosystem with clearly defined roles
With this update, the Lama app becomes a complete financial command centre. You can receive payments in stablecoins, diversify your savings in ETH and manage your portfolio from a single regulated and secure interface.
It is important to note that, during this phase of expansion for our digital wallets, the Lama Visa Card will continue to operate exclusively with liquidity in Bitcoin (BTC). Keeping the card linked to BTC allows us to ensure maximum efficiency, speed and stability in point-of-sale (POS) settlements and wallets such as Apple Pay, while our back-end architecture scales securely to support the future interaction of multiple assets in the physical world.
The future is interoperable
The barrier between traditional banking and the digital economy continues to disappear. By enabling ETH, USDC, USDT and SHIB wallets, we are giving our institutional and retail users full control over how and in what they want to hold their value.
Digital money is no longer a future promise; it is an everyday utility. Open your Lama app and discover your new wallets today.
