Tony Volpon launches BRD stablecoin offering exposure to Brazil’s 15% interest rates.
Token backed by National Treasury bonds competing with BRZ’s $185 million market cap.
Brazil maintains no official cryptocurrency holdings as of January 2026 currently.

A former Brazilian central bank director has introduced a yield-bearing stablecoin designed to provide international investors with access to the country’s high-interest-rate environment. Tony Volpon announced BRD on CNN Brasil’s “Cripto na Real” program and called the token a gateway to Brazilian sovereign debt returns.

The stablecoin operates through backing by National Treasury bonds, creating a direct link between token value and government securities. Brazil’s central bank maintains a benchmark interest rate of 15%, substantially higher than the Federal Reserve’s 3.5%-3.75% target range.
