Brazil

BRL (R$)

Brazil has a vibrant fintech ecosystem with PIX enabling instant payments 24/7. Locally denominated assets on Stellar enable low-cost on- and off-ramps with competitive FX rates.

About the Local Asset

Unlike USD-intermediated flows that require multiple conversion steps, locally denominated assets on Stellar enable direct on- and off-ramps between BRL and the blockchain. This means fewer intermediaries, lower fees, and faster settlement.

Yield-bearing assets like stablebonds take this a step further by backing each token with local government treasury instruments, which generates yield that can be passed on as lower conversion costs — often below 25 basis points.

The result: cheaper, easier, and quicker access to on- and off-chain value for both developers building services and the end users they serve.

We evaluate providers against two lenses — a commercial bar (real local value for end-users) and a developer bar (can you actually build on it):

Commercial

  • Locally denominated asset (stablecoin or stablebond) on Stellar
  • Support for local payment rails connected to Stellar
  • Competitive rates (wholesale <25 bps conversion)
  • Deep liquidity for low slippage (local ↔ global assets)

Developer

  • Open self-service access (credentials + sandbox, no human in the loop)
  • Accurate, well-documented API (docs match the wire)
  • High-fidelity sandbox (a completed test ramp lands real on-chain testnet tokens)
  • Agent-buildable (machine-readable docs/spec, diagnosable failures)
  • Fee/rate discoverability (costs findable via pricing docs or a quote/fee API)
