According to The White House (@WhiteHouse), the US government is urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport using the CBP Home App, offering a free trip home and $1,000 incentive, with penalties for non-compliance (source: The White House, May 16, 2025). This policy could significantly impact cross-border remittance patterns, a sector where cryptocurrencies like USDT and Bitcoin are widely used for fast, low-cost transfers. Traders should monitor potential changes in remittance-related crypto demand and volatility, particularly for coins popular in Latin American corridors, as regulatory shifts may drive increased crypto adoption or fluctuations in transaction volumes.

According to Brad Freeman (@StockMarketNerd), NU achieved a 14% year-over-year customer growth in Brazil, capturing 59% of the adult population, while Mexico saw a 70% customer increase, reaching 12% penetration six years after launch. Colombia outperformed with customer numbers tripling year-over-year and attaining 8% penetration in just four years. This robust user expansion signals significant digital finance adoption in Latin America, which is closely watched by crypto traders for regional shifts toward fintech and potential integration of crypto services by major neobanks like NU (Source: Twitter/@StockMarketNerd, May 14, 2025).
