Can a Digital Real Transform Brazil's Economy? w/ Paulo Alves and João Zecchin

For today’s episode I brought in one of the Brazil’s top crypto journalists and one of the its leading Web3 investors to discuss the potential impacts of this technology on Brazil’s economy. Both are friends and previous guests of the show

• João Zecchin is a co-founder of Fuse Capital, which is one of Brazil’s first Web3 native venture capital firms. You can listen to my previous episode with him here.

  
  



• Paulo Alves is the crypto editor at InfoMoney, which is one of Brazil’s leading financial media publications. (Previous episode here)

  
  

Some of the themes we discuss:

• why the money transfer use case in Brazil has largely been solved by Pix

  
  



• how the Digital Real will unlock “real world” asset tokenization use cases that produce real yield for holders, and how these developments could unlock new capital flows into the country

  
  



• what Digital Real innovation will mean for existing commercial banks and how it can stimulate greater competition in the Brazilian financial system

  
  



• potential new new products and services that could be unlocked via Digital Real infrastructure
