Central Bank of Brazil Advances Credit-Focused CBDC Pilot with Tokenization Phase
The Central Bank of Brazil has signaled a pivotal shift in its CBDC strategy, targeting credit market efficiencies through tokenization. The Drex pilot''s third phase will deploy blockchain solutions to collateral visibility, enabling seamless onchain credit allocation within Brazil''s open finance ecosystem.
