Gabriela Moraes: Basel III and FIT21 Convergence Catalyzes $20 Billion Tokenized Credit Market

Gabriela Moraes, Strategic Legal Advisor to SQHWYD GLOBAL Ltd. and Partner at Pinheiro Neto Advogados, today published the 2025 Global Digital Asset Legal Review. This comprehensive report argues that 2025 will be remembered as the year regulatory arbitrage ended and “Regulatory Interoperability” began, laying the legal rails for the massive scaling of Real-World Assets (RWA).

Basel III and the Banking Entrance

Moraes identifies the full global implementation of Basel III standards for crypto-asset exposures in January 2025 as a watershed moment for the industry.

“2025 was the year banks officially entered the chat,” Moraes writes. “The Basel Committee’s distinct classification of tokenized real-world assets (Group 1b) allowed Tier-1 banks to hold tokenized bonds and equities with significantly lower capital requirements than unbacked cryptocurrencies (Group 2).”

This regulatory green light was the “missing link” for institutional adoption. It allowed banks to participate in the RWA ecosystem without punitive capital deductions, provided the underlying assets met strict legal certainty criteria. Consequently, the tokenized private credit market surged to $20 billion by year-end 2025, as traditional financial institutions sought efficient settlement layers for their own balance sheets.

Brazil’s Law 14.478: The Global Gold Standard

The report highlights Brazil’s leadership in 2025. With Law No. 14.478 (Virtual Assets Law) fully enforced, the mandate for absolute Asset Segregation proved crucial in restoring investor confidence.

“In 2025, while other jurisdictions struggled with commingling concerns, Brazil’s legal framework ensured that client assets remained bankruptcy-remote,” Moraes notes.

This legal certainty was the catalyst for the Drex (Digital Real) pilot to move into its second phase in late 2025. Unlike retail CBDCs, Drex focused on the wholesale settlement of tokenized government bonds. Moraes analyzes how Drex created a programmable legal environment where the smart contract is legally recognized as the definitive record of ownership, solving the “Oracle Problem” for real-world assets.

The FIT21 Effect: Cross-Border Harmonization

Moraes provides a detailed analysis of the cross-border implications of the US Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), which saw broad enforcement in 2025. By clarifying the jurisdiction of the CFTC over digital commodities, the US aligned itself with global standards.

“The harmonization between FIT21 in the US and Law 14.478 in Brazil created a ‘compliance corridor’ for the first time,” the report states. “In 2025, we saw the friction-free flow of capital between North and South America, underpinned by mutual legal recognition of digital asset taxonomy.”

The report concludes that in 2026, the primary competitive advantage for digital asset platforms will be their “Legal Engineering”—the ability to wrap a US Treasury Bill in a token that is legally compliant in Brazil, custody it under Basel III standards, and settle it instantly.

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, recent developments have sparked significant interest. A closer look at pricing forecasts for Cardano (ADA) and rumors surrounding a Solana (SOL) ETF, coupled with the emergence of a promising new entrant, Layer Brett, reveals a complex market dynamic. Cardano's Prospects: A Closer Look Cardano, a stalwart in the blockchain space, continues to hold its ground with its research-driven development strategy. The latest price predictions for ADA suggest potential gains, predicting a double or even quadruple increase in its valuation. Despite these optimistic forecasts, the allure of exponential gains drives traders toward more speculative ventures. The Buzz Around Solana ETF The potential introduction of a Solana ETF has the crypto community abuzz, potentially catapulting SOL prices to new heights. As investors await regulatory decisions, the impact of such an ETF on Solana's value could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $300. However, as with Cardano, the substantial market capitalization of Solana may temper its growth potential. Why Layer Brett is Gaining Traction Amidst established names, a new contender, Layer Brett, has started to capture the market's attention with its early presale stages. Offering a low entry price of just $0.0058 and promising over 700% in staking rewards, Layer Brett presents a tempting proposition for those looking to maximize returns. Comparative Analysis: ADA, SOL, and $LBRETT While both ADA and SOL offer stable investment choices with reliable growth, Layer Brett emerges as a high-risk, high-reward option that could potentially offer significantly higher returns due to its nascent market position and aggressive economic model. Initial presale pricing lets investors get in on the ground floor. Staking rewards currently exceed 690%, a persuasive incentive for early adopters. Backed by Ethereum's Layer 2 for enhanced transaction speed and reduced costs. A community-focused $1 million giveaway to further drive engagement and investor interest. Predicted by some analysts to offer up to 50x returns in coming years. Shifting Sands: Investor Movements As the crypto market landscape shifts, many investors, including those traditionally holding ADA and SOL, are beginning to diversify their portfolios by turning to high-potential opportunities like Layer Brett. The combination of strategic presale pricing and significant staking rewards is creating a momentum of its own. Act Fast: Time-Sensitive Opportunities As September progresses, opportunities to capitalize on these low entry points and high yield offerings from Layer Brett are likely to diminish. With increasing attention and funds being directed towards this new asset, the window to act is closing quickly. Invest in Layer Brett now to secure your position before the next price hike and staking rewards reduction.
