Frequently Asked Questions

Technical and strategic inquiries.

How do stablecoins accelerate cross-border transactions?
Stablecoins settle near-instantaneously on blockchain networks 24/7, reducing settlement times from business days to minutes and eliminating correspondent banking friction.
What is the impact of Central Bank Resolution BCB 521?
Resolution BCB 521 treats stablecoins used for foreign payments as foreign exchange transactions, establishing a 3.5% IOF tax and licensing standards for operators.
Which stablecoins are supported?
We advise on regulated, fully asset-backed stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and regulated fiat-pegged tokens, objectively evaluating audit reserves and liquidity depth.
Does our company need to hold cryptocurrencies on its balance sheet?
