How SMEs Avoid Bank Fees with Stablecoins

In this Stabledash Live interview from Stablecoin Conference LATAM 2025, we sit down with Juan Carlos from BKCap, a Colombia-based OTC desk serving 500+ SMEs across Latin America.

Juan Carlos reveals why Colombian companies are abandoning traditional banks that charge 3-4% FX spreads, and how BKCap's Telegram-based automated quoting system is processing daily $10k-$100k transactions for importers who can't access international banking.

Key Highlights:

- BKCap serves 500+ companies with OTC desk, market making, and new high-frequency trading services
- Average transaction size: $10,000-$100,000 with daily client activity
- Telegram-based automation: One-minute rate holds with approve/deny functionality
- Main use case: Colombian importers paying US invoices without international bank accounts
- Traditional banks charge SMEs 3-4% above official FX rates (corporate clients get better deals)
- Colombia ranks second in Latin America for crypto adoption behind Mexico
- Key pain points solved: High FX spreads and slow settlement times from traditional banks
- Colombia opportunity: High percentage of imported goods creates natural stablecoin demand
