What is the BRLV stablecoin?
BRLV stablecoin is a Brazilian real‑denominated digital token issued by Crown and fully backed by Brazilian government bonds. It is designed to provide institutional investors with a compliant, on‑chain vehicle to gain exposure to Brazil’s high sovereign yields while maintaining reserve transparency and regulated custody arrangements.
Crown raised $8.1 million in seed funding to launch BRLV. The round was led by Framework Ventures with participation from Valor Capital Group, Coinbase Ventures, Paxos and others.

How does BRLV provide access to Brazil’s bond yields?
BRLV works by holding reserves in Brazilian government bonds and issuing a tokenized representation of the real against those reserves. Reserves are invested in sovereign debt instruments, which currently yield materially more than many developed‑market equivalents. According to TradingEconomics, the 10‑year Brazilian government bond yield is around 14%, recently peaking near 15.2%.
The token structure aims to solve common barriers for foreign institutional investors: complex tax rules, capital controls and local custody requirements. Crown’s CEO John Delaney said, “The safest way to manage stablecoin reserves and ensure every token is fully backed is to invest those reserves in government bonds.” He added that Crown designed an income‑sharing mechanism so institutional partners receive a portion of the yield rather than the issuer retaining it.
Funding and institutional support signal market interest. Crown’s seed round included Framework Ventures, Valor Capital Group, Coinbase Ventures and Paxos, underscoring investor confidence in a compliant, bond‑backed stablecoin model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can institutional investors earn Brazilian bond yields through BRLV?
Yes. BRLV’s reserves are invested in Brazilian government bonds so token holders gain exposure to sovereign bond yields indirectly. The structure is intended to provide yield distribution to institutional partners while simplifying custody and compliance compared with direct on‑shore purchases.
Is BRLV compliant and safe for institutional use?
BRLV is positioned as a compliance‑first product with reserves in sovereign bonds and institutional custody arrangements. Safety depends on auditability, custody providers, and local regulatory treatment. Crown cites an income‑sharing and fully backed reserve model to support institutional risk management practices.

Brazil emerges as a key market for stablecoins
Brazil has become one of Latin America’s most active crypto markets. Chainalysis reports Brazil led the region with approximately $318.8 billion in crypto received between July 2024 and June 2025. More than 90% of that volume involves stablecoins, showing their central role in payments and cross‑border transfers.
Institutional adoption is accelerating. Banks, fintechs and payment providers are integrating blockchain services, and several real‑pegged tokens already operate in the market. Notable real‑pegged stablecoins include BRL1 (consortium‑backed) and BRZ (issued by Transfero), both designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the Brazilian real via fiat reserves.
The Central Bank of Brazil has warned about potential volatility from dollar‑backed stablecoins. Deputy Governor Renato Gomes told reporters that stablecoins can make capital flows more volatile because they facilitate rapid cross‑border movement of funds. This regulatory caution underscores why a bond‑backed, real‑denominated product like BRLV may be attractive to policymakers and certain institutional investors.
Key Takeaways
- Tokenized sovereign exposure: BRLV is backed by Brazilian government bonds, giving institutional investors a digital path to high local yields.
