PaymentsJournal Highlights Latin America’s Fragmented Payments Landscape, Citing PhotonPay Research

Payments industry publication PaymentsJournal has published a deep-dive article, Navigating Latin America’s Complex Payment Ecosystem, examining the region’s evolving payments landscape, including domestic payment rails, cross-border settlement, stablecoins and payment orchestration. The article draws on PhotonPay’s research report, The Next Payment Infrastructure in LATAM, as a reference for its analysis. The article highlights the highly fragmented nature of Latin America’s payments market, where countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Mexico have developed distinct payment systems, currencies, providers and regulatory frameworks. At the same time, stablecoins are gaining traction in cross-border payments, offering an additional layer for liquidity and settlement, while local payment rails remain essential for reaching businesses and consumers in individual markets. PaymentsJournal argues that the next phase of payment infrastructure in Latin America may not be about creating a single regional rail, but about connecting diverse local payment systems, currencies and global liquidity through a more unified infrastructure layer. In this model, stablecoins can facilitate cross-border movement and settlement of value, while payment orchestration connects and manages the local rails, providers and fund flows businesses need to navigate. PhotonPay’s research explores these infrastructure trends and the changing dynamics of payments across the region.

TON ecosystem self-custody wallet Tonkeeper announced its rebranding to Keeper and expanded from a single TON wallet to a multi-chain wallet supporting 7 blockchain networks. According to a statement disclosed exclusively to The Block, Keeper now supports TON, Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base. Tonkeeper claims to be the largest self-custody wallet in the TON ecosystem, with over 77 million registered users.Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of The Open Platform, stated that Keeper is the next chapter, aiming to bring the wallet experience known for its simplicity from TON to a broader crypto economy, with the goal of creating the default self-custody wallet for a multi-chain world, allowing users to freely hold, trade, and spend across any chain. This rebranding follows changes in the management of Tonkeeper, as The Open Platform took over the operational leadership of the wallet last month, while co-founders Oleg Andreev and Oleg Illarionov remain shareholders.Keeper also includes a gas-free transaction infrastructure called Battery, which allows users to pay network fees without holding the native gas tokens of each chain. The Open Platform plans to expand Battery to all supported networks within the next year and launch native DeFi services, daily payment tools, cross-chain exchanges, a built-in decentralized application browser, and more financial products such as perpetual contract trading.
