These systems offer peer-to-peer financial services on public blockchains without intermediaries. Nu Holdings, one of the largest digital banks worldwide, with over 100 million customers in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, is a pioneer in this field. Nu Holdings impresses with its new cryptocurrency transfer feature, enabling customers to send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana directly from their wallets.

A significant partnership with Lightspark to integrate the Bitcoin Lightning Network underscores Nu Holdings' commitment to offering innovative features. This collaboration will enhance the Nu app by enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions. Such innovations cement Nu Holdings' position as a leading digital financial platform in Latin America. With impressive customer growth and revenue of $2.8 billion in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 65% year-over-year, Nu demonstrates clear success. Net profit rose by 134% to $487 million. Analysts are optimistic about the NU stock and see a potential 13.38% increase from the current level. Berkshire Hathaway is the most prominent shareholder with 107.11 million shares valued at $1.38 billion. Nu Holdings ranks 7th on the list of the most undervalued blockchain stocks. Despite the potential, it is noted that AI stocks promise more promising returns.
