Online retailer Amazon has just published a series of job posts suggesting the giant plans to launch a digital currency project in the Central American country.
The project, which has not yet been officially announced by the company, appears to be aimed at maintaining the loyalty of the platform's Prime customers in Mexico.
According to one of the job posts:
"This product will enable customers to convert their cash in to digital currency using which customers can enjoy online services including shopping for goods and/or services like Prime Video."

The fact that the company's Digital and Emerging Payments (DEP) division has chosen Mexico for the initial launch of this new product should not be a surprise, as according to another job post, the product appears to be targeted at emerging markets.
While a large number of online merchants already accept cryptos as a payment method, the fact that Amazon starts to accept digital currencies would be a major revolution considering the company's huge user base.
