"We are in a consortium of companies that have the structure and ambition to build robust solutions for the financial market through blockchain technology. Utilizing the Stellar network will allow us to deliver a complete case for evaluation by the Central Bank," said Reinaldo Rabelo, CEO of Mercado Bitcoin.

In addition to the consortium created by Mercado Bitcoin, the Central Bank of Brazil also chose the DeFi Aave (AAVE) protocol and ConsenSys in partnership with Visa and Microsoft to develop use cases for the nation's Real Digital.

In April, Cointelegraph reported that the president of Brazil's Central Bank had confirmed that the country’s sovereign digital currency pilot will go live this year. However, this release will still be a pilot version and will not be available to the entire population of the country. According to Campos Neto, the Real Digital hopes to enable smart contracts and decentralized finance on the CBDC platform.

Weekly Outlook: GBP/USD

In the last five days of trading, the GBP/USD had another week of chaotic results, and it's likely that the currency pair hasn't seen the end of chaotic results yet. The GBP/USD hit a high of almost 1.14950 on October 4 and 5. Some traders might think this has a lot to do with the "turnaround" of the Conservative government under Liz Truss, but they might be wrong. When the proposed tax plan of the U.K. government got a lot of bad press, the government pretty much gave up on it. Prime Minister Liz Truss changed her mind about what she said she believed in just a few days. Many financial institutions were not happy about this. The GBP/USD exchange rate will be around 1.10900 when the week starts. Before last week's weekend, the GBP/USD was almost always trading calmly near the 1.12100 ratio.

Risk management: What Is It?

In layman's terms, risk management is a method that enables one to comprehend and control both specific risk occurrences and total risk in a way that maximizes success by reducing risks and maximizing opportunities and results. By embracing preventative management rather than reacting to crises as they arise, one can effectively manage risk by trying to have as much of an impact as possible on future events. Therefore, effective risk management has the capacity to reduce potential repercussions of an event as well as the possibility that a risk would materialize. Structures for Risk Management Risk management structures are designed to do more than merely identify potential issues. A sound risk management strategy should consider the unknowns and how they will impact a company. As a result, you must determine whether or not to take chances.
