$8.1 Million Secured by Crown in Latest Funding
Crown, headquartered in São Paulo, has successfully raised $8.1 million. The funding was spearheaded by Framework Ventures and includes support from notable names like Valor Capital Group and Coinbase Ventures.
The company is launching BRLV, a stablecoin backed by Brazilian government bonds. Crown’s CEO, John Delaney states that this provides a safer and fairer access to BRL’s high yields.
BRLV Set to Transform Institutional Investor Access
BRLV potentially reshapes access to Brazilian yields, offering direct benefits to institutional holders. Its unique yield distribution could attract significant interest from both local and international investors.
This launch aligns with Brazil’s growing openness to cryptocurrency, bolstered by the Brazilian Virtual Assets Law. The move supports regulated engagement with local currency‑backed stablecoins.
Brazil's Government Bond‑Backed Tokens: A New Chapter
Brazil previously saw similar initiatives like Braza Group's tokens, all designed with governmental bonds as collateral. BRLV echoes these attempts, focusing on institutional reach and compliance.
Historically, such stablecoins enhance capital influx but face compliance hurdles. Experts predict BRLV might drive stablecoin adoption in Brazil, potentially influencing cross‑border financial strategies.
“This structure makes BRLV both safer and fairer, giving partners access to the Brazilian real’s high‑interest environment through a transparent, regulated model.” — John Delaney, CEO, Crown
