Entrepreneur Arnaldo Dos Santos has launched pre-registrations for SOLIDO, a new neobank focused on remittances from North America and Europe to Venezuela. The platform leverages blockchain and stable digital assets to streamline international payments for cross-border users.
Why it matters
By utilizing blockchain architecture to replace traditional, high-cost remittance infrastructure, SOLIDO aims to reduce transaction overhead for international capital flows to Venezuela. This approach signals a growing shift toward specialized digital asset platforms targeting volatile currency markets.
The platform offers a $10 credit to the first 1,000 users, incentivizing early adoption ahead of the broader rollout. Founder Arnaldo Dos Santos brings 20 years of international business experience to the venture.

The details
SOLIDO operates by using stable-value digital assets to facilitate payments, allowing users to view all fees and exchange rates before confirming a transaction. The platform is designed to bridge international sources in Canada, the US, and Europe with local Venezuelan financial tools, including the national bank transfer network and mobile payment systems. Future development phases are slated to include the introduction of debit cards, microloans, and savings products.
Timeline
The official launch of the SOLIDO platform is scheduled for the end of 2026.
Market Landscape
The emergence of SOLIDO follows the broader trend of using stablecoins for cross-border remittances in Latin America by creating dedicated payment rails that bypass traditional correspondent banking. This model builds on existing efforts to modernize capital transfers to Venezuela, which has historically relied on high-fee legacy systems.
Operators focused on cross-border payments should monitor SOLIDO’s integration with national bank transfers, as this could set a new benchmark for remittance efficiency. Keep an eye on how the firm’s proposed alliance with the Blockchain Deposit Insurance Corporation manages asset risk for end-users.
The takeaway
SOLIDO represents a strategic effort to lower remittance costs through blockchain-native infrastructure. Operators should track the platform’s 2026 launch to evaluate its impact on competitive pricing for Venezuela-bound capital transfers.
