BRL1 is a fully backed Brazilian Real (BRL)–pegged stablecoin designed to deliver a seamless on-chain liquidity solution for Brazil’s rapidly growing digital asset market, while remaining compatible with traditional financial use cases. It aims to bridge the gap between crypto-native infrastructure and established financial systems by offering a stable, efficient, and transparent representation of the Brazilian Real on public blockchains.
The stablecoin is developed by a consortium of leading crypto exchanges and financial institutions, including Mercado Bitcoin, Foxbit, Bitso, and Cainvest. By leveraging the combined expertise of both crypto-native and regulated financial players, BRL1 focuses on facilitating efficient liquidity flows between exchanges, reducing reliance on fragmented fiat on/off-ramps, and supporting institutional-grade standards for security, compliance, and transparency.
As stablecoin adoption continues to accelerate in Brazil, BRL1 addresses the growing demand for a local-currency stable asset tailored to the domestic market. It enables faster settlement, improved capital efficiency, and broader on-chain use cases such as trading, payments, and treasury operations, positioning BRL1 as a foundational component of Brazil’s evolving digital financial ecosystem.
