Brazilian founders can’t stop building.
Big congrats to our member @bebrites and the whole @tracefinance team on announcing their Series A.
Trace Finance raised $32M in a round led by @coinfund, with participation from many founders from the ecosystem.
We’ve been following and supporting Trace closely, including hosting a major stablecoin event with them in Rio earlier this year.
Another huge milestone for Brazilian founders building global companies on Solana.
Parabéns Bernardo and team.
Keep pushing 🇧🇷

Happy Thursday from The Tokenization Tower.
Microstrategy's Stretch is the talk of the town today with a massive red candle.
Meanwhile, the CME is suing the CFTC for allowing perps in the USA...Chairman Selig seems to be on the side on innovation, not the incumbents.
Will be a good show today.
Today's line-up is in:
1:30PM ET: @shadddowfax - @wormhole
2:00PM ET: @kassandraETH, @binji_x, @tsu_kareta, @Ivshti - Kohaku
2:30PM ET: Bernardo Brites - @tracefinance
See you on the show.

We're excited to lead @tracefinance's $32m Series A. Trace is the backbone powering stablecoin adoption across Brazil & LatAm. 🔥
Trace turns painful legacy rails (slow, expensive remittances, trade finance, treasury) into instant, 24/7 stablecoin flows with PIX on-ramps in less than 60s.
Stablecoins aren’t the future in LatAm, they’re the now. The “stablecoin sandwich” is eating TradFi’s lunch. Over $10B has already processed.
Congrats to @bebrites and @tracefinance team on the raise!
That's a wrap. 🇧🇷
Two days in Rio. Regulators, banks, fintechs and builders in the same room.
Thank you @solana , @dfnsHQ and everyone who shared their knowledge.
We're just getting started.
3 days to go. Final countdown.
The Stablecoin Brazil Forum is almost here — two days bringing together the leaders defining the future of stablecoins and digital payments in Latin America.

@solana is excited to support Trace Finance!
Onchain payments & stablecoins are now a pillar of finance. USD stables proved their value — non-USD stablecoins are next.
Stablecoin Brazil Forum (Feb 10-11, Rio) brings key players together as Brazil's regulation goes live.
The @solana Money Summit has started
Stacked lineup on stage…
