AEON, a settlement layer built for the agentic economy, has integrated SPEI, Mexico’s national real-time bank transfer system, into its payment infrastructure. The move connects crypto payments with one of the country’s most widely used banking rails.
The integration lets users pay merchants in Mexican pesos through AEON Pay. Users select a crypto asset and wallet, while AEON handles conversion and sends a local SPEI transfer directly to the merchant in MXN.
The system is designed to make crypto payments easier for everyday use by linking digital assets with familiar banking systems in Mexico.

How AEON Pay connects crypto with Mexico’s banking system
Users can enter an amount in MXN, choose a crypto asset, and complete payment through AEON Pay. The platform automatically converts the crypto and settles the transaction through SPEI.
AEON also works with wallets and payment apps like Bitget Wallet, KuCoin Pay, and Bybit Pay. Once confirmed, merchants receive fiat directly into their bank accounts.
This setup removes the need for users to manually move between crypto platforms and banks, while merchants continue using their existing payment systems.
Why SPEI matters for real-world and AI-driven payments
SPEI is operated by Banco de México and is one of the country’s core payment systems, widely used for instant bank transfers.
By linking crypto payments to SPEI, AEON expands its settlement reach into real-world financial infrastructure. It also supports future AI-driven payments, where automated agents can initiate transactions while settlement still happens through local banking rails.
Expanding AEON’s role in global settlement networks
The integration builds AEON’s presence in Latin America and adds another local rail to its growing payment network across emerging markets.
AEON said the goal is to connect crypto, local commerce, and autonomous digital agents through a single settlement layer that works across different regions and currencies.
Meanwhile, the organization expanded its real-world crypto payment infrastructure through a strategic integration with X Layer, the Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by OKX. The move brings AEON’s scan-to-pay functionality directly to X Layer, enabling users to spend crypto assets.
