By tokenizing exposure to Brazilian debt, BRLV eliminates traditional barriers such as complex tax structures, capital controls, and currency conversion issues.
Crown CEO John Delaney said the model prioritizes security and transparency, as reserves are invested solely in government bonds.
Unlike many stablecoin issuers, Crown will also share reserve income with institutional partners through a revenue-sharing mechanism.
The funding round was led by Framework Ventures, joined by Valor Capital Group, Coinbase Ventures, and Paxos.
Brazil has emerged as a Latin American stablecoin leader, generating $318.8 billion in crypto transactions between July 2024 and June 2025, with over 90% involving stablecoins.
However, regulators have expressed concerns that stablecoins could increase capital flow volatility.
BRLV joins other real-backed tokens like BRL1 and BRZ, further strengthening Brazil’s role in digital asset innovation.
