Brazilโs largest bank, Itaรบ Unibanco, with over 55 million customers, is considering launching its own stablecoin. Guto Antunes, head of digital assets, says interest has grown due to the U.S. governmentโs evolving crypto stance. He highlights blockchainโs potential for atomic transactions and hints at a possible Brazilian real-backed stablecoin. However, Itaรบ is first studying the experiences of other banks and waiting for stablecoin regulations to be established in Brazil before moving forward.
