Argentina and Palo Alto-based bitcoin merchant processing service BitPagos has announced its first seed funding round, raising $600,000 from a list of investors that includes Pantera Capital, venture capitalist Tim Draper, SecondMarket CEO Barry Silbert and the Boost Bitcoin Fund, among others.
BitPagos emerged out of the Boost VC accelerator in 2013 and raised more than $150,000 during its first year of operations. Unlike US merchant processors such as Coinbase or BitPay, BitPagos allows users to sell bolivars or pesos for bitcoin, as opposed to converting their bitcoin earnings into fiat currency.
BitPagos CEO Sebastian Serrano framed the latest funding round as one that will help the growing company expand its business beyond Argentina’s fast-growing market.
