XRP News: Braza Group USDB Dollar-Backed Stablecoin

According to a press release issued by the company, USDB is pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and is fully backed by U.S. and Brazilian government bonds. USDB is subject to regular audits by Braza Group to ensure transparency and asset backing. 

As highlighted in the XRP news, Braza designed this stablecoin for both institutional and retail digital financial transactions.

Individuals can purchase the USDB stablecoin via the Braza On application, while institutional clients can also access the asset. Braza Group aims to make USDB a secure and accessible tool for fast and low-cost international payments, especially for remittances and cross-border commerce..

Strategic Integration with XRP Ledger

Braza’s stablecoins, the USDB and the earlier launched BBRL, are both issued on the XRP Ledger. XRPL is a public, decentralized Blockchain that handles fast settlement and low transaction costs. It has processed more than 3.3 billion transactions, supporting more than six million wallets worldwide. In addition to new stablecoins, it is worth mentioning the XRP news about the launch of Vaultro Finance’s decentralized index fund dashboard.

Marcelo Sacomori, CEO of Braza Group, stated, “With USDB, Brazilian individuals and companies gain new alternatives to hedge against volatility and speed up their operations.” He added that Braza is committed to delivering financial tools that meet strict compliance and security standards.

By launching both BBRL and USDB on the same blockchain, Braza is able to operate under a unified infrastructure. This will help facilitate financial use cases in tokenization and digital settlements in local as well as international markets.

Stablecoin Regulation Amid USDB Launch

Given that stablecoin regulation is advancing globally, the launch of USDB arrives at the right time. Most recently, the US Senate passed a key procedural vote on the GENIUS Act, which aims to provide stablecoin oversight. Financial institutions wanting to launch or broaden stablecoin solutions are monitoring this development.

In another XRP news, European firm Schuman Financial introduced EURØP, a euro-backed stablecoin, also on the XRP Ledger. The ACPR licenses EURØP under France’s central bank and fully complies with MiCA regulations, the European Union’s regulatory framework for crypto assets.

Ripple LATAM Managing Director Silvio Pegado commented,

“By issuing both BBRL and USDB on the XRP Ledger, Braza is helping lay the foundation for a more connected and efficient digital asset community in Brazil.”
