Thomaz Teixeira, CEO of BRL1, and Ben Reid, Head of Stablecoins at Bitso, join host Aaron Stanley to discuss the BRL1 stablecoin project.

BRL1 is a one-to-one Brazilian real-pegged token developed by a unique consortium of major crypto exchanges including Mercado Bitcoin, Bitso, Foxbit, and Cainvest.

We explore how competitors joined forces to build shared infrastructure that reduces friction for market makers and liquidity providers moving value across global exchanges.

Teixeira and Reid highlight BRL1's impressive early traction, with the token already ranking as the sixth or seventh highest-volume asset on Brazilian exchanges despite launching just months ago.

We examine how the consortium model creates network effects that drive adoption, the growing interest from institutional market makers positioning for local currency stablecoins, and how BRL1 addresses interoperability challenges similar to those the now-shuttered Drex project aimed to solve.

After three years of waiting, Brazil's central bank has finally released comprehensive VASP regulations.

In this episode, Carlos Eduardo Russo (Bluegreen) and Cesar Carvalho (Baptista Luz Advogados) join host Aaron Stanley to break down the regulatory framework that will reshape Brazil's digital asset industry.

We discuss the phased authorization process, capital requirements ranging from R$11-37 million, how stablecoins are now integrated into Brazil's FX market, and whether these rules truly level the playing field between local and international exchanges.

Both guests have been deeply involved with AB Token's government affairs work and provide insider perspectives on what comes next for the industry.

Paulo David is CEO of AmFi. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss how his platform is revolutionizing access to Brazilian private credit markets through asset tokenization.

As a third-time entrepreneur who previously built and sold two major fintechs including Grafeno, Paulo brings deep expertise in Brazil's capital markets infrastructure. The conversation explores how Brazil's position as having the world's second-highest interest rates creates a unique opportunity to export this yield to global investors through blockchain technology.

Paulo explains how AmFi is addressing critical market inefficiencies including lack of transparency, limited accessibility, and absence of secondary markets that have historically prevented foreign capital from entering Brazilian private credit.

He also discusses the platform's expansion strategy targeting Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and how democratizing access to these high-yield instruments can ultimately reduce borrowing costs and improve credit access for Brazilian businesses.
