Chainless no WebSummit - ft. Transfero | Chainless por aí

Summary

At Web Summit, the Chainless host surveys the startup scene, noting the prominence of AI-focused companies, major Brazilian banks such as Banco do Brasil and Itaú, and Chinese technology providers. The host presents blockchain, on-chain finance, and self-custody as potential alternatives to established banking models.

The video briefly visits the Chainless booth and includes comments from the company’s CTO, Johnny, and CEO, Kevin.

In an interview, Transfero co-founder Guilherme Murtinho says that unclear regulation—not regulation itself—is a major challenge for crypto businesses in Brazil. He argues that clearer rules would help companies build compliant products and give users and businesses more confidence in the technology.

Murtinho describes BRZ, Transfero’s Brazilian-real stablecoin, as an early digital version of the real. He likens its potential role in cross-border transfers to an “international Pix,” and says BRZ is being used as a bridge to international liquidity. Transfero is also working to expand its infrastructure, including support across more partner blockchains.

The interview discusses how the term “stablecoin” may evolve as digital-currency technology matures. Murtinho expresses optimism about wider BRZ use and the greater choice and control crypto assets can offer users.

Product Guidance

The host says viewers can buy BRZ through Chainless using Pix at a 1:1 rate via Transfero. BRZ can then be used on Chainless for activities such as investing in Bitcoin or creating a liquidity pool. This is a brief promotional walkthrough, not a detailed tutorial.
