What does the president of ABM say? Becker approved the introduction of digital currency to reduce transaction fees and achieve better compatibility using blockchain. He added:
“If Banxico determines that the banking opinion can help build better elements or a cryptocurrency, count on us and the best banking opinion so that it is something that provokes and has a more efficient and robust financial system that reaches more Mexicans as a consequence.”

Many believe that cryptocurrencies and their implementation in the country can improve access to financial services. .
