01What is asset tokenization?+
Asset tokenization is the process of digitally representing a real or financial asset as a token recorded on a blockchain, enabling issuance, distribution, and trading with traceability and governance. In Brazil’s regulated market, tokenization is applied to instruments such as debentures, commercial notes, receivables, structured credit, real-estate assets, and agribusiness assets.
02How does asset tokenization work in the regulated market?+
Tokenization in the regulated market involves four stages: legal and technical structuring of the asset, digital issuance of the token linked to the operation’s documentation, distribution to investors with onboarding and suitability, and execution of settlement, custody, and bookkeeping in partnership with regulated capital-markets intermediaries. BlockBR provides the technology infrastructure for all of these stages.
03Which assets can be tokenized?+
Both real assets and financial assets can be tokenized. Real assets include structured credit, receivables, real estate, agribusiness, commodities, and energy. Financial assets include debentures (including convertibles), commercial notes, CCBs, financial and securitized notes, mezzanine and venture-debt structured operations, FIDCs, structured funds, and managed portfolios.
04Is asset tokenization regulated in Brazil?+
Yes. Asset tokenization in Brazil operates within the capital-markets regulatory framework, with specific rules covering offerings, distribution, custody, and bookkeeping of digital assets. Tokenization operations are executed in partnership with regulated Brazilian capital-markets intermediaries, ensuring compliance and investor protection.
05What is tokenization infrastructure?+
Tokenization infrastructure is the set of technology, integrations, and operational layers that lets institutions issue, distribute, and manage digital assets without building every component in-house. It spans asset modeling through regulated execution — settlement, custody, bookkeeping, and reporting. BlockBR is an institutional technology infrastructure for tokenization, distribution, and management of digital assets in the Brazilian capital markets.
06What is the difference between tokenizing financial assets and real assets (RWA)?+
Financial assets are instruments of the capital markets themselves — debentures, commercial notes, CCBs, funds, portfolios — and their tokenization is the digitization of already structured financial operations. Real assets (RWA, Real World Assets) are physical or economic assets in the real world — real estate, agribusiness, commodities, energy, backed receivables — and their tokenization requires additional legal structuring to link the real-world asset to the digital token.
07How can a company tokenize its assets?+
A company can tokenize its assets through specialized technology infrastructure that integrates legal structuring, digital issuance, investor distribution, and regulated execution. The process starts with framing the asset within the regulatory framework, then modeling the operation, issuing the token, and making it available on a distribution platform. BlockBR offers modular infrastructure consumed on demand for each stage of that cycle.
08Who can use BlockBR infrastructure?+
BlockBR infrastructure is built for institutions in the capital markets: banks and fintechs launching their own digital products, independent asset managers, securitization firms and asset originators, regulated platforms, capital-markets intermediaries, and AIS offices (Autonomous Investment Structurer). The model is institutional — BlockBR does not serve end investors directly.
09Is BlockBR a brokerage or investment platform?+
No. BlockBR is institutional technology infrastructure for the capital markets. The company is not a brokerage, asset manager, distributor, or investment platform for the end public. Operations supported by BlockBR infrastructure are executed in partnership with regulated capital-markets intermediaries; BlockBR provides the technology and operational layer.
10What are BlockBR’s infrastructure products?+
BlockBR offers seven products across four categories: Tokenization (Real Assets/RWA and Financial Assets), Platforms (Whitelabel and Management), Infrastructure (Connect API — a modular platform with six on-demand modules), and Execution (Station, which orchestrates settlement, custody, and bookkeeping with regulated intermediaries). AIS BlockBR combines the above into a model tailored for structuring offices.
