Latam Insights Encore: Brazil Set to Become a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Pioneer

Welcome to Latam Insights Encore, a deep dive into Latin America’s most relevant economic and crypto news from the past week. In this edition, we discuss the golden opportunity that Brazil, a country with high crypto adoption, has to become a trailblazer by pioneering the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in Latam.

Latam Insights Encore: Brazil Should Create First Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Regulation in Latam

Brazil, one of the countries with the highest cryptocurrency adoption in Latin America, is called to become a crypto pioneer by enacting a strategic bitcoin reserve, surpassing other international contenders. While arguably there are many countries already stockpiling bitcoin, Brazil would be the first to pass a regulation directly pushing to exchange part of the country’s foreign reserves into bitcoin.

The matter will be discussed on August 20, and while it might be marred by the current political instability in Brazil, the opportunity to become a trailblazer in the area should not be wasted.

Adopting bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset would give Brazil a first-mover advantage against other adopters, who would have to follow Brazil’s lead and possibly purchase at higher prices to avoid being left out.

In the same way, the move would configure Brazil as a digital assets hub, attracting more crypto capital to the country as companies seek to secure a place in the crypto ecosystem of the tenth-largest economy.

The strategic bitcoin reserve would be in line with the de-dollarization policies of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, diversifying the country’s foreign reserves and reducing the reliance on the U.S. dollar.

If not passed, Brazil would lose a great opportunity to become a leader in bitcoin implementation at a nation-state level, leaving the doors open for other less relevant nations in the region to take its place.

The opportunity to acquire $16.5 billion worth of BTC, according to central bank numbers, and spearheading a worldwide bitcoin revolution is on the table. Let’s hope that Brazil finally takes it, as the time to act is now.

Ripple unveils XRPL’s updated roadmap with plans to launch a native lending protocol

The post Ripple unveils XRPL’s updated roadmap with plans to launch a native lending protocol appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways A native lending protocol is scheduled for release in XRPL Version 3.0.0 later this year. Recent upgrades bring advanced features like Batch Transactions, Permissioned DEX, and upcoming zero-knowledge proof integration. Ripple on Monday published an updated roadmap for the XRP Ledger outlining new features designed to scale institutional decentralized finance. As part of the update, the team plans to launch a native lending protocol later this year to support compliant, low-cost on-ledger credit markets. The product is slated to go live with XRPL Version 3.0.0. The protocol will introduce pooled lending and underwritten credit directly at the ledger level through Single-Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol specifications. The system will pool liquidity through vaults and issue shares that can be public or restricted, then use these vaults to support fixed-term loans with repayment schedules managed directly on-chain. While underwriting and risk management remain off-chain, institutions can add safety with first-loss capital or structure collateralized loans through regulated custodians. According to Ripple, the protocol is aimed at giving institutions low-cost, compliant credit markets that tap into liquidity from global investors. With XRPL’s low fees, fast settlement, and modular design, the team wants to make institutional DeFi more efficient and scalable. “For institutions, the appeal is clear: no financial institution will turn down low-cost capital if it can be sourced within KYC/AML standards. The lending protocol enables exactly that, pooling liquidity from a global base of smaller investors into institutional-sized loans while maintaining compliance,” the roadmap states. The roadmap also points to future integration of zero-knowledge proofs to enable privacy-preserving collateral management while maintaining regulatory compliance. Ripple said the deployment is under development, with confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens planned for Q1 2026. XRPL’s institutional DeFi roadmap is moving beyond token standards and compliance toward a native lending system. The next phase…
