🎯 Latin America’s two biggest digital banks hit a snag at the same time

📰 Nubank and Mercado Pago paused some crypto deposits and withdrawals for exactly the same reason: an external verification provider went down. They’d just lost $6.3 billion last week.

💬 This detail really stings. What’s called compliant deposits and withdrawals essentially means handing the keys to a third party you can’t even see. One cough from them and the whole chain goes down. Check the channel you’re using—which layer is it?

EXTERNAL SUPPLIER OUTAGE DISRUPTS CRYPTO SERVICES IN BRAZIL

Nubank (NuCripto) and Mercado Pago temporarily suspended cryptocurrency deposits, withdrawals, and transfers following instability at external data and monitoring providers.

The institutions say their internal systems and customers’ assets remain protected. Buying and selling through the apps remain available.

The incident highlights platforms’ dependence on outsourced infrastructure: a failure outside the exchange can also interrupt essential services.

Meanwhile, Mercado Bitcoin said it had blocked more than US$ 15 million in assets related to the attack it suffered on November 2. The company is preparing a gradual resumption, initially allowing account viewing only on 9/11.

Is the crypto market prepared to deal with risks that go beyond price volatility?

🚨 NUBANK AND MERCADO PAGO SUSPEND CRYPTOCURRENCY TRANSFERS

Two major Brazilian financial platforms announced temporary restrictions on the movement of digital assets this Friday (06/11).

🔹 NUBANK

Suspended direct cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals following an outage at an external data provider.

According to the institution, the issue did not occur in its infrastructure, customers’ assets and information remain protected, and other crypto services continue to operate.

🔹 MERCADO PAGO

Preventively blocked some transfers to external wallets following an incident involving a risk-monitoring and anti-money-laundering provider.

Incoming deposits may be delayed, but the company says they will be credited once services return to normal. Buying and selling remain available.

🔐 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The incident highlights financial institutions’ reliance on specialized providers to verify and monitor blockchain transactions.

⚠️ At the time the statements were issued, there was no confirmed timeline for a full return to normal. The institutions did not publicly identify the provider responsible, so the disruptions cannot be attributed to a specific attack.

Customers should check official channels before making new transfers.

📅 Information published on 06/11/2026. Exact time of the statements: unconfirmed.
