Supporting Brazilian fintech startups

Fenasbac leads the Next accelerator programme, which provides mentorship, resources, and investment opportunities to ambitious early-stage fintech startups. Ripple will sponsor two fintech startups within this programme, with a specific focus on blockchain solutions for treasury management, asset tokenization, payments, and lending. The initiative aims to enable these startups to leverage blockchain technology in addressing real-world financial challenges.

Ripple’s team highlighted the importance of this partnership, emphasising their excitement to continue working with Fenasbac and support Brazilian startups in their blockchain endeavours.

Building on previous collaborative efforts

Brazil has been chosen as Ripple’s first targeted investment country due to its advanced developer community and robust digital payments infrastructure. The focus on Brazil is part of Ripple’s broader strategy to invest in markets with significant potential for blockchain technology adoption and innovation.

Fenasbac’s officials highlighted the significance of international partnerships in boosting blockchain technology and fostering innovative solutions that benefit society.
