Availability for Mexico residents
As of 3 June 2026, Binance is available to residents of Mexico. The group has launched a Mexican payments unit named Meda, reported as operating under an Electronic Payment Funds Institution (Institucion de Fondos de Pago Electronico, or IFPE) authorization, which is the licence category created by Mexico's Fintech Law for electronic payment institutions. Meda is described as enabling Mexican peso (MXN) deposits and withdrawals through the SPEI interbank transfer system.
Crypto activity in Mexico sits within the Fintech Law (Ley para Regular las Instituciones de Tecnologia Financiera), overseen by the National Banking and Securities Commission (Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, or CNBV) and the Banco de Mexico, the central bank. Individuals may legally hold and trade virtual assets, but banks and regulated financial institutions face restrictions on dealing in them, which is why peso on ramps often route through payment institutions and partner services.
This means residents can access Binance and fund in pesos through the SPEI system, while some peso withdrawal routes can be more limited and may involve peer to peer trading or partner services. The question this page answers is whether the Binance platform serves residents of Mexico, which it does as of the date above.
Access, KYC, and funding
Binance is a custodial platform that holds account assets on your behalf. Residents of Mexico complete identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) before trading, which is mandatory under anti money laundering rules. Mexican peso (MXN) deposits are supported through the SPEI bank transfer system via the Meda payments unit, and the exact funding and withdrawal options shown to your account can change.
Binance offers spot trading and a broad set of products, including peer to peer trading, subject to user eligibility and local availability. Peso withdrawal routes can be more limited than deposits and may involve peer to peer trading or partner services, so confirm the current options on the platform, and for tax see the Mexico crypto tax page.
How crypto is taxed in Mexico
In Mexico, profits from buying and selling crypto are generally treated as taxable income for individuals, administered by the Tax Administration Service (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria, or SAT) under the income tax law (Ley del Impuesto sobre la Renta). Gains can fall within personal income tax, and the treatment depends on your circumstances and how the activity is characterised (as of 3 June 2026).
Mexico does not have a separate dedicated crypto tax regime, so general income tax rules apply, and record keeping of acquisition cost and disposal value matters. Rules and guidance can change. See the Mexico crypto tax page for detail, and verify your position with the SAT or a qualified local professional. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 3 June 2026).
Binance serves residents of Mexico and supports peso funding through the SPEI system. Availability, fees, and supported products vary across platforms, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Mexico before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
