Coinbase negotiates purchase of Mercado Bitcoin and announcement should be made in April

Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency 

exchange in the United States, is expected to announce the purchase of 2TM, the parent company of the Mercado Bitcoin, at the end of April. The information was published by Broadcast, Estadão's real-time news service.

If confirmed, the acquisition represents an important step in Coinbase's expansion goal around the world. It is worth remembering that the American is still behind the Chinese Binance, which recently also came to Brazil to shop. A few days ago, Binance acquired the licenses from the broker sim;paul Investimentos.

The purchase of 2TM would place in Coinbase's portfolio other companies besides the Mercado Bitcoin, such as Meubank, MB Digital Assets, Bitrust, Blockchain Academy and MezaPro. Coinbase had already announced plans to expand its operation and even cited Mexican Bitso as one of the possible acquisitions.
