The top two tokens --&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b> and <b>Ethereum</b>&nbsp;-- have fallen 40% and 35% from their highs, respectively. And nearly $1 trillion&nbsp;has been erased from the crypto market since the beginning of May.</p>\n<p>Even so, now looks like a good time for Bitcoin-believers to pick up a few shares of <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MELI\">MercadoLibre</a></b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:MELI) and <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ). Both fintechs stand to benefit as cryptocurrency becomes more popular, and market downturns are often a buying opportunity in hindsight. Here's what investors should know.<b>&nbsp;</b></p>\n<h2>MercadoLibre</h2>\n<p>MercadoLibre operates the leading e-commerce marketplace and digital payments platform in Latin America, with a presence in 18 different countries.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25561fe3762dc278a5819507aa51a581\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Over the years, MercadoLibre has slowly integrated crypto into its ecosystem. In 2015, the company started allowing users in Mexico to make purchases with Bitcoin, a decision that was driven by demand from both consumers and merchants.</p>\n<p>Then in 2018, the company partnered with BitPay&nbsp;in Brazil, enabling crypto-powered purchases of MercadoLibre gift cards from within the BitPay wallet. Those gift cards can be used to shop on the marketplace or to fund a Mercado Pago account.</p>\n<p>More recently, MercadoLibre purchased $7.8 million in Bitcoin for its balance sheet. During the Q1 earnings call CFO Pedro Arnt noted two reasons for this: First, it's part of the company's treasury strategy, as management believes Bitcoin is a good long-term store of value. Second, this allows MercadoLibre to \"quickly [move] up the learning curve in terms of understanding crypto,\" which will allow it to capitalize on future opportunities as they arise.</p>\n<p>In April 2021, MercadoLibre doubled down on crypto, launching a new real-estate&nbsp;platform that only accepts payment in Bitcoin. Within hours&nbsp;of the launch, 75 properties were available&nbsp;and the company expects that figure to grow over time.</p>\n<p>All of these moves underscore the company's growing interest in cryptocurrency. More importantly, each step has been met with enthusiasm from consumers and merchants.</p>\n<p>While it's impossible to identify the precise impact of&nbsp;cryptocurrency, MercadoLibre's business has grown quickly since introducing Bitcoin as a payment option in 2015.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2015</p></th>\n   <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$651.8 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$4.7 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>46%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Free Cash Flow</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$157.1 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$682.9 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>32%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: MercadoLibre&nbsp;SEC Filings.

That gives MercadoLibre an advantage, and its growing acceptance of cryptocurrency furthers that advantage.</p>\n<p>That's why MercadoLibre should be at the top of your watchlist, especially during downturns in the crypto market. If crypto disappears completely, MercadoLibre will be fine -- it will still have a thriving online marketplace and digital payments ecosystem. But if crypto rebounds (as it has in the past), it could drive more consumers and merchants to MercadoLibre's crypto-friendly platforms.</p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>Square divides its business into two parts: the seller ecosystem and the Cash App ecosystem. The former provides merchants with the hardware, software, and services they need to start and manage a business, while the latter provides consumers with financial tools that help them to send, spend, and invest money.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d2a51a5595b3405443ffb2e4c9cf1d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<p>In January 2018, Square started allowing Cash App consumers to trade Bitcoin. In hindsight, that move was a stroke of genius. Monthly active users skyrocketed from 7 million in 2017 to 36 million by the end 2020&nbsp;-- a compound annual growth rate of 72%.</p>\n<p>To add, as Bitcoin soared 300% last year, the positive impacts on Square's business became even more pronounced. During 2020, more than 3 million consumers traded Bitcoin through Cash App, driving engagement with other services as well, like the Square Cash Card and direct deposit. As a result, Cash App gross profit skyrocketed 168% last year, reaching $1.2 billion.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n   <th><p>2017</p></th>\n   <th><p>2020</p></th>\n   <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Seller Gross Profit</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$777 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$1.5 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>25%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>Cash App Gross Profit</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$47 million</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>$1.2 billion</p></td>\n   <td width=\"156\"><p>196%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Source: Square&nbsp;SEC Filings.

But the seller ecosystem has also delivered strong results, especially when you consider the pandemic-related headwinds (i.e. many brick-and-mortar retailers closed their doors during 2020).</p>\n<p>That's why investors should consider buying this fintech stock, especially during dips in Bitcoin's price. If Bitcoin never recovers, Square's ecosystems still offer significant value to both merchants and consumers.
