Episode Details

Itaú Unibanco, Brazil’s largest bank, is testing tokenized bonds and funds with OpenAssets under ANBIMA’s watch, pushing blockchain into traditional finance — a move that could reshape how assets are issued, traded, and settled. This follows Itaú’s role in last year’s central bank Drex pilot, amplifying its influence as Brazil emerges as a global leader in asset tokenization. With the tokenized securities market projected to hit $5.5 trillion by 2030, Brazil’s momentum is accelerating — from government debt to dairy cows being tokenized for loans. Backed by $10M in funding from major players including USDT’s issuer and Itaú’s founding family, OpenAssets is building the infrastructure to make this future real. Brazil’s bold experiments are setting the stage for smarter, more accessible financial systems worldwide.
