Transfero announces that BRZ – the Brazilian Real-backed stablecoin created by the company – is officially available on Algorand, a world-class blockchain powering secure and efficient frictionless exchange.
With that, Algorand becomes the third blockchain that the Brazilian cryptocurrency is integrated with, helping to expand the use cases for BRZ across a broad range of payments and financial applications.
As evidenced by the recent and rapid growth and usage of stablecoins on public chains, there is a tremendous need for blockchain infrastructure to scale to support significantly higher transaction throughput and lower fees significantly.
In that sense, Algorand allows that growth with lower costs for users. “We are very pleased with this expansion of BRZ because we are paving the way for the cryptocurrency to be able to meet the demand of this growing market”, celebrates Transfero’s CEO, Thiago Cesar.
