Mexican freelancers (RIF and personas fisicas con actividad empresarial) frequently invoice US clients in USD. PayPal's 4.4% plus FX easily becomes 7-8%. Bybit operates legally and the SAT considers crypto a digital asset.
The math at typical Mexico freelance volumes ($30,000 MXN/month):
- PayPal international: ~7-8% effective cost = significant annual loss.
- USDT on Bybit: ~0.1% effective cost — almost negligible.
- Setup time: 10-15 minutes including KYC.
Tax note for Mexico: In Mexico, crypto income from freelance services is taxed as ordinary income (ISR up to 35%). USDT received counts at fair value on receipt date. CFDI invoicing is still required. SAT does not yet require separate crypto reports for individuals.
