"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.
