Drex Cryptocurrency Launches in Brazil
The Central Bank of Brazil is preparing for the launch of Drex, the country's official cryptocurrency, scheduled for 2024. Drex, previously called the "digital real," is part of an effort to modernize Brazil's financial system by facilitating faster, safer, and more accessible transactions. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Drex will be controlled by the Central Bank and will function as a digital version of the real.
In addition to enabling instant payments and smart contracts, Drex aims to integrate more Brazilians into the financial system, promoting digital inclusion. The project also strengthens the country's financial ecosystem, with the potential to reduce operating costs for businesses and consumers. With security and transparency at its core, Drex is seen as a milestone in the advancement of Brazil's digital economy.#BTC#BTTC#Ethereum#DREX
