Chiliz Chain Integrates BRZ Stablecoin to Enhance Fan Token Accessibility in Brazil

Share

São Paulo, Brazil, 16 Oct 2024: Chiliz Chain, a leading blockchain platform in the sports and entertainment industry, has announced a strategic partnership with Transfero Group. This collaboration marks the integration of BRZ, the largest Brazilian Real-pegged stablecoin, into the Chiliz Chain ecosystem. This initiative is significant as it introduces the first stablecoin to be integrated into Chiliz Chain, thereby strengthening the company’s commitment to the Brazilian market and enhancing the accessibility of Fan Tokens for millions of sports enthusiasts.

The integration of BRZ, which is paired 1:1 with the Brazilian Real, aims to connect the global Fan Token market with Brazil’s burgeoning DeFi ecosystem. This move is set to stimulate the growth of the SportFi ecosystem in Brazil, providing users with a seamless entry point into blockchain-based sports and entertainment experiences.

“Brazil represents a key market for Chiliz, with its passionate sports culture and rapidly growing crypto adoption,” said Bruno Pessoa, Brazil Country Manager for Chiliz. “By integrating BRZ and partnering with Transfero, we’re not just expanding our technological capabilities – we’re opening up new possibilities for millions of Brazilian fans to engage with their favorite teams through Fan Tokens.”

The partnership with Transfero Group, known for its expertise in blockchain-based financial solutions, underscores Chiliz’s strategy to collaborate with top-tier providers to enhance its offerings. Transfero’s strong presence in the Brazilian market and its proficiency in stablecoin technology make it an ideal partner for this initiative.

Márlyson Silva, CEO of Transfero, commented on the partnership: “We’re thrilled to bring BRZ to the Chiliz Chain. This integration aligns perfectly with our mission to bridge traditional and decentralized finance. By connecting BRZ with Chiliz’s Fan Token ecosystem, we’re creating new opportunities for Brazilians to participate in the global SportFi movement.”

This development comes amid significant growth in Brazil’s crypto market. Recent data from Chainalysis indicates that stablecoin usage in Brazil has increased by 42% year-over-year, with stablecoins now accounting for approximately 70% of exchange flows. The BRZ integration is set to go live by October 2024, with further announcements regarding specific features and Fan Token initiatives to follow. The project has announced here in the blog post.
