Grupo Braza announced on Thursday (22) the launch of USDB, its new stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain. The initiative aims to expand access to secure and low-cost digital solutions for individuals and businesses operating in the online financial environment.
USDB is 100% backed by assets such as government bonds from the United States and Brazil, and is subject to regular audits. Issued directly on the XRPL — a decentralized network focused on asset tokenization — the digital currency offers liquidity and scalability, characteristics that, according to the company, strengthen its use in international transactions and protection against currency volatility.
Expansion of digital infrastructure focusing on liquidity and scalability
The launch marks the group's second digital asset in this format. At the beginning of 2025, the company had already made BBRL available, a stablecoin pegged to the real. Both operate on the same infrastructure, which, according to Grupo Braza, facilitates the integration of different applications in the digital financial ecosystem.
Marcelo Sacomori, CEO of Grupo Braza, claims that the new currency meets the growing demand for modern and reliable solutions in the crypto asset sector. "With USDB, Brazilians and businesses gain more options to preserve value in strong currency and carry out transactions swiftly. We are committed to high standards of security and compliance," he declared.
USDB is also already available to the general public through the Braza On app. The asset positions itself as an alternative in the Brazilian stablecoin market, focusing on digital inclusion and facilitating access to foreign exchange operations and international remittances.
Silvio Pegado, general director of Ripple for Latin America, highlighted that the launch contributes to a more connected base of digital assets in Brazil. "Braza's stablecoins offer a fast and secure way to move value across borders, with the support of a reliable infrastructure like XRPL," he stated.
Expansion and regulatory expectations
Grupo Braza, which currently holds the sixth position in the ranking of operations in the interbank market of the Central Bank, moved over $1.079 billion in just 24 hours in April. With a consolidated presence in the foreign exchange sector, the company expects a significant increase in the adoption of its stablecoins in the coming months.
Sacomori projects that by the end of 2025, USDB will represent 30% of the Brazilian market for dollar-pegged stablecoins. He also bets on regulatory advancements that should contribute to the security of operations, especially regarding the custody of crypto assets by financial institutions.
"Our focus is on leading this movement. We have already worked with the institutional market and are prepared for the arrival of new exchanges in Brazil," said the executive, who estimates that stablecoins should dominate global foreign exchange in the next five years.
