Bitso Shift is based on Circle's payment infrastructure that allows users to complete deposits and withdrawals via domestic wire transfers, and convert between Mexican Pesos (MXN) and supported stablecoins. Wire transfers to Bitso Shift are processed in 24 to 48 hours through regulated institutions. However, it remains unclear what banks are processing the transfers.

The investment brought the company's total valuation up to $2.2 billion. Pantera Capital, Paradigm, BOND & Valor Capital Group, QED, and Kaszek also participated in the round.
