Brazilian businesses and global investors benefit from Plume and Mercado Bitcoin partnership
Plume and Mercado Bitcoin partnership
In a landmark move for the financial and blockchain industries, Plume Network and Mercado Bitcoin (MB) have announced a strategic partnership to tokenize $40 million in real-world assets (RWAs).
This collaboration marks the first time a Brazilian exchange will enable global distribution and staking of tokenized assets, opening new doors for international investors seeking exposure to Brazil’s dynamic market, according to Portal do Bitcoin.
A bridge between Brazil and global investors
The partnership will leverage Plume Network’s blockchain infrastructure to tokenize various financial instruments, including asset-backed securities, corporate debt, and consumer credit. By digitizing these assets, MB is creating an efficient and secure way for global investors to access Brazilian markets, which account for over 40% of Latin America’s GDP.
Chris Yin, CEO of Plume, emphasized the impact of this initiative: "Mercado Bitcoin is the ideal partner for Brazil. This partnership connects global investments to a market ready to receive them, bringing accessibility and high-quality opportunities to all."
Fabricio Tota, VP of New Business at MB, highlighted how this move democratizes finance, providing small and medium-sized businesses with alternative funding sources while expanding investment options for both local and international investors.
Unlocking liquidity and financial inclusion
Plume Network’s technology will integrate MB’s tokenized assets into DeFi lending, financing, and staking protocols, enhancing liquidity and increasing earning potential. As Brazil emerges as a leader in financial innovation, this initiative reinforces the role of blockchain in bridging emerging and developed markets, offering a more inclusive and transparent financial system.
Meanwhile, Brazil has solidified its status as a global leader in crypto, with 26 million citizens—12% of the population—owning digital assets. This ranks the country sixth worldwide in crypto adoption, highlighting its growing impact in the sector.
