Polygon Expands On-Chain Fixed Income With Brazilian Real Yield Launch

• The integration between Polygon and DFB Network connects Brazil’s traditional finance infrastructure with decentralized finance (DeFi).
• The initiative establishes a direct bridge between Brazil’s sovereign debt markets and on-chain liquidity, expanding access to tokenized Brazilian fixed-income products.

A new collaboration between DFB Network and Polygon is enabling Brazilian Real (BRL)-linked stablecoin yields to move on-chain. This move will further expand access to forex-based returns for global DeFi users. The initiative leverages Polygon’s low-cost infrastructure to support on-chain trading, settlement, and liquidity services for BRL-pegged stablecoins.

DFB Network Partners With Polygon for On-Chain Yield of Brazilian Real

DFB Network, positioned as the world’s first on-chain forex liquidity provider, aims to broaden the circulation and utility of BRL-backed stablecoins through the partnership. The integration will offer instant settlement, deeper liquidity, and more inclusive financial access within decentralized markets.

The effort marks a step forward in bringing traditional currency yield products into the blockchain ecosystem by utilizing Polygon’s scalable network.

Latin America–based fintech firm Transfero Group announced the launch of the Tesouro Token on the Polygon network. They will use the DFB Network to integrate Brazil’s traditional finance infrastructure with global decentralized finance (DeFi).

The initiative connects Etherfuse’s real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure to Transfero’s BRZ liquidity ecosystem. As part of the rollout, the first liquidity pool — Tesouro / stBRZ / BRZ / BRLA — is now live on Curve.

Transfero said the move establishes a direct bridge between Brazil’s sovereign debt markets and on-chain liquidity. It also helps in expanding access to tokenized Brazilian fixed-income products for global DeFi participants.

Speaking on the development, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal said: “Latam fintech payments and stablecoin activity is moving to Polygon en masse!”

While speaking at the Money Rails Event last month, Nailwal said that 2026 would be crucial for the platform as they plan for global expansion of on-chain and cross-border payments. He also discussed TradFi integration, DeFi rails, institutional asset tokenization, micropayments in emerging markets, and much more.

Tapping into the Crypto-Friendly Market of Brazil

This latest development comes as Brazil’s central bank introduced new operational rules for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) that will take effect in 2026, as reported by CNF. As per the framework, newly registered VASPs need to meet the same governance, compliance, and client-protection standards applicable to traditional financial institutions.

Last week, Sao Paulo hosted  Blockchain Conference Brazil, with some of the top leaders from the crypto space in attendance. The main discussion at the event was around capital allocation to digital asset, the demand for crypto ETFs, and the evolving role of digital assets in the global financial system.
