Mexican Bitcoin Exchange Bitso Acquires CompetitorMexican bitcoin exchange Bitso has acquired competitor Unisend Mexico in an attempt to consolidate its market share in the region.
A relatively small exchange, Bitso's trading volume in the last 24 hours stood at approximately $7,671 (33.4 BTC) – less than 1% of US exchange Coinbase, which had reached $1.34m at the time of press.
Speaking to CoinDesk, Pablo González, CEO at Bitso, said: "Although we feel strongly that the market is on the verge of significant growth, right now it doesn't really make sense to have such a diffused effort. Consolidation makes sense at this point, in preparation for the huge potential that we see coming with remittance partners poised to begin activity over the bitcoin rail."
