Is Nexo available in Mexico?
Nexo lists Latin American countries, including Mexico, among the markets it serves, so Mexican residents can generally use its core custodial platform and crypto backed credit line. The Nexo Card and some features are not offered in Mexico. The Mexican authorities for the financial system are the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) and the Banco de México (Banxico).

How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
Yes, with limits. As of 26 June 2026, Mexican residents can generally use Nexo's core custodial platform, including the crypto backed credit line and the in app Exchange, but the Nexo Card is issued only to residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom and is not available in Mexico. Crypto is legal to buy, hold, and sell for individuals in Mexico, supervised under the Fintech Law by the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores and the Banco de México, so confirm the current product scope on the Nexo platform before acting.
Availability for Mexico residents
As of 26 June 2026, Mexico is among the Latin American markets Nexo lists as served, so Mexican residents can generally reach the platform and its core products. Crypto is legal to buy, hold, and sell for individuals in Mexico. The Mexican authorities for the financial system are the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV) and the Banco de México (Banxico), with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) handling tax. The open question on this page is which Nexo products are offered to Mexican residents rather than whether owning crypto is allowed.
Mexico regulates domestic financial technology institutions under the Fintech Law (the Ley para Regular las Instituciones de Tecnología Financiera), supervised by the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, and the Banco de México restricts banks and regulated institutions from offering crypto services such as custody or exchange directly to the public. Mexico does not operate a licensing regime that authorises foreign crypto platforms to serve individuals, so a platform like Nexo operates as a foreign provider rather than a locally licensed institution. Buying, holding, and selling crypto remains legal for individuals.
Because Nexo's product set in Latin America is narrower than in Europe, treat the precise scope of what is offered to Mexican residents as something to confirm on the Nexo platform. The Nexo Card is issued only to residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom and is not available in Mexico, and other features can vary by jurisdiction. The status on this page is stated as of 26 June 2026.
Access, KYC, and products
Nexo is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Mexican users typically open an account through the Nexo app or website, complete identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) using a government issued identity document, and fund the account by transferring crypto from another wallet or by buying crypto with a bank card where that option is offered.
The core products that can be available to eligible users include a crypto backed credit line, which lets a user borrow against crypto held as collateral without selling it, and an in app Exchange for swapping one asset for another. The Nexo Card, a Mastercard issued for residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, is not available to Mexican residents, and savings or yield features depend on local rules.
The exact product mix offered in Mexico depends on local rules and on how Nexo structures its service for Latin America, and it is narrower than in the European Union. Confirm what is offered to Mexican residents on the platform itself before funding an account. This page describes general availability and does not recommend any product.
How crypto is taxed in Mexico
Mexico taxes income, including gains realised on the disposal of virtual assets, under the impuesto sobre la renta (ISR), administered by the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT). Individuals are generally taxed on gains at the progressive rates that apply to personal income, and the treatment depends on the nature and frequency of the activity and on personal circumstances (as of 26 June 2026).
Rates, thresholds, and reporting duties change and depend on personal circumstances, so confirm the current treatment with the Servicio de Administración Tributaria or a qualified adviser. See the Mexico crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice.
Several platforms serve residents of Mexico. Availability and products vary, 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.
