    #183: Tokenized Credit for Brazil's Creative Economy with DUX

    Luiz Octavio Gonçalves Neto is the founder and CEO of DUX, a company building financial infrastructure for the creative economy in Brazil. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss how DUX uses invoice factoring and blockchain-based liquidity to serve a $2.5 trillion global sector that traditional banks have largely ignored. DUX buys receivables from creative economy companies, marketing agencies, event producers, music studios, and creator agencies, paying them upfront instead of waiting 90 days for big brands to settle. The company has done R$182 million in volume and is targeting R$1 billion by year-end. Luiz covers how its Web3 liquidity platform lets global investors deploy stablecoins into Brazilian private credit, why blockchain serves as an anti-fragile capital backup, and what's next as DUX launches a neobank and prepares a rebrand. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 🎙Listen to Bits and Borders on your favorite podcast platform ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Google⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💣 For editorial and sponsorship inquiries: aaron@promenadeadvisory.com #brazil #web3 #crypto #blockchain #bitcoin #ethereum #fintech #latam #defi #onchain #regulation #cryptonews #stablecoins #tokenization #RWAs

    #181: Live from Merge Sao Paulo: Agentic Commerce with Rodrigo Coelho of Edge & Node

    Rodrigo Coelho is CEO of Edge & Node. In this episode, recorded live at Merge Sao Paulo, joins host Aaron Stanley to explore the cutting edge of agentic commerce and blockchain data infrastructure. Rodrigo shares how Edge & Node, the original team behind The Graph protocol - built the indexing layer that quietly powers much of Web3 today, and how their new product, AMP, is modernizing that infrastructure for institutional adoption. The conversation digs into why crypto rails are uniquely suited for the agentic economy: from micro-payments between AI agents to ephemeral virtual cards bridging the gap for everyday merchants, and why agents paying each other via stablecoins may be closer than we think.

    #180: Why Brazil is a Blockchain Talent Hub with Owen Healy

    Owen Healy has spent five years matching blockchain talent with crypto projects around the world - and he's built a 50,000-follower LinkedIn following doing it. In this episode, Aaron sits down with the Ireland-based recruiter to explore how the blockchain talent market actually works: how recruiters get paid, how candidates can trust a headhunter is acting in their interest, and why referrals still beat job boards every time. Owen shares why Brazilian developers and blockchain professionals are increasingly in demand globally, what skills make candidates hireable regardless of location, and how the remote work pendulum is swinging back toward hybrid models. He also breaks down his "multi-chain" approach to job searching - why one-click LinkedIn applications rarely work, and how building genuine relationships inside target companies is the real edge in today's AI-saturated hiring landscape. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Figment is the leading independent provider of staking infrastructure with $18B assets under stake and provides the complete solution for over 1000 institutional clients in Latin America and globally.

    #179: BRL Stablecoin Deep Dive with Rodrigo Trindade of Iporanga Ventures

    Rodrigo Trindade is an investor at Iporanga Ventures. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss his comprehensive research on local stablecoin adoption across Brazil and Latin America. Rodrigo built his own tracking dashboard monitoring on-chain metrics including supply, holders, transaction volumes, and DeFi activity for regional stablecoins. He argues that while USD-denominated stablecoins will remain dominant globally, local currency stablecoins are essential infrastructure for building functional on-chain financial systems in Latin America, where users need to transact, borrow, and lend in their native currencies. Looking ahead, Rodrigo identifies credit and yield products as the next major opportunities in the space, emphasizing the need for better transparency through real-time proof of reserves and improved liquidity infrastructure. ------------------------------------------------------------------Brazil Crypto Report is presented by Avenia If you're building a wallet, a crypto consumer app, or a global payment platform, Avenia is your bridge to Latin America.

    #178: Can Crown Become the Circle of Brazil? with John Delaney

    John Delaney is CEO and co-founder of Crown. Crown recently raised a $13.5 million Series A round led by Paradigm and is the issuer of BRLV - Brazil's newest and stablecoin with over 360 million BRL subscribed. He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss Crown's unique approach to capturing institutional flows in Brazil's high-yield environment - namely by letting BRLV holders earn native yield generated from the underlying reserves. The conversation explores BRLV's groundbreaking bankruptcy-remote reserve structure with perfected legal guarantees, making it the first stablecoin globally to implement such comprehensive security protections. Delaney shares insights on Brazil's position as a prime stablecoin market given its massive M2 money supply, crypto-friendly central bank, and positive real interest rates that outpace inflation. He outlines Crown's ambitious 10-year vision to achieve one trillion BRL in circulation, projecting stablecoins will represent high single-digit percentages of Brazil's money supply as financial infrastructure migrates on-chain.

    #177: No Place to Hide: Brazil's New Crypto Tax Regime with Thiago Barbosa

    Thiago Barbosa, partner at Salles Nogueira Advogados, joins host Aaron Stanley to break down the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of crypto asset taxation and regulation in Brazil. The discussion centers on the latest major developments from the Central Bank, which is introducing stricter requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers, and the new Receita Federal reporting mechanism called "Decripto". Barbosa explains how these changes create an increasingly tight compliance net, particularly for retail investors who've historically operated in gray areas. He emphasizes that the IRS is investing heavily in surveillance technology to identify discrepancies between reported income and actual lifestyle spending, warning that the window for undeclared crypto wealth is rapidly closing as Brazil integrates into the global tax reporting infrastructure.

    #176: What's ACTUALLY Driving Stablecoin Adoption in Latam? With Justin Norman

    In this episode, host Aaron Stanley speaks with Justin Norman, founder of The Flip, a content creator and filmmaker who documents technology adoption in emerging markets. Justin shares insights from his recent Latin American research trip exploring stablecoin adoption, which resulted in a YouTube documentary series examining markets like Argentina and Bolivia. The conversation delves into the disconnect between Argentina's impressive stablecoin transaction volumes and the lack of visible retail adoption, revealing that stablecoins primarily serve as store-of-value tools and facilitate cross-border trade rather than everyday spending. Justin emphasizes the importance of understanding the macro conditions driving adoption, including dollar shortages, parallel exchange markets, and currency devaluation, rather than focusing solely on technology hype. He also draws compelling parallels between Latin American and African markets, noting how similar economic pressures create comparable crypto adoption patterns, while highlighting Latin America's superior payment infrastructure that enables more seamless on-ramps and off-ramps for stablecoin users.
