Crown, a fintech company based in São Paulo, has secured $8.1 million to introduce BRLV, a stablecoin pegged to the Brazilian real. This initiative aims to provide institutional investors with streamlined access to Brazil's lucrative fixed-income market, characterized by double-digit yields. The BRLV stablecoin is fully backed by Brazilian government bonds, which currently offer yields around 14%, significantly higher than those in more developed economies. The launch of BRLV seeks to overcome the challenges foreign investors face, such as complex regulations and currency conversion issues, by offering a digital alternative for holding BRL-linked assets. Crown's CEO, John Delaney, emphasized the company's commitment to a fair income-sharing model for institutional partners. The funding round was led by Framework Ventures, with contributions from Valor Capital Group, Coinbase Ventures, and Paxos. Brazil has emerged as a significant market for stablecoins, with over 90% of its crypto transaction volume involving these digital assets. However, the Central Bank of Brazil has expressed concerns about the impact of US dollar-backed stablecoins on capital flow volatility and monetary policy. Despite these concerns, Brazil continues to see growth in real-pegged stablecoins like BRL1 and BRZ, which maintain a 1:1 peg with the Brazilian real.
