Problem
Cross-border capital flows into Brazil face high costs and delays, with banks charging 100–350 basis points plus up to 3.5% IOF tax on foreign-exchange transfers, and settlement taking up to a day. Despite Brazil being one of the world's largest stablecoin markets, the country remains underserved by legacy payment infrastructure that fails to meet the needs of modern digital finance.
Solution
brd.capital provides regulated BRL settlement infrastructure that connects banks, PIX, and blockchain networks through fully reserved, sovereign-bond-backed rails.

It supports multiple workflows including treasury yield generation, risk-adjusted DeFi strategies, embedded yield via API, and cross-border payments such as global wallet-to-PIX payouts and merchant settlement. The infrastructure is licensed by Brazil's Central Bank, fully reserved with 1:1 sovereign-bond backing, and independently audited monthly to ensure trust and transparency.
