Liqi, a Brazilian blockchain infrastructure company for the capital markets, is doubling down on the growth of this segment with BRLD, a new stablecoin pegged to the real aimed at tokenization operations and Bitcoin treasury companies ().
The initiative takes place at a time of regulatory advancement in Brazil, on the eve of the entry into force of the Central Bank’s new rules for virtual asset companies. BRLD, says the company, was structured to operate with full backing in federal public bonds, with separation between governance functions, backing custody and token issuance.
“We are launching BRLD to solve concrete market pain points, mainly settlement and tokenized financial operations, in addition to a second, very strong pillar of corporate treasury. It is institutional infrastructure: made for companies and institutions that need predictability, control and traceability”, says Daniel Coquieri, CEO of Liqi.
Opportunity with security!
In corporate use, the stablecoin is aimed at companies that seek to centralize cash management, operate outside banking hours and reduce manual processes related to applications, redemptions and reconciliations. Liqi states that BRLD can be used as a short-term instrument, with daily liquidity, without positioning it as a retail investment product.
In the capital market, BRLD will function as a settlement currency in structured and tokenized operations, including interest payments, amortizations, distributions to investors and other contractual events. Financial flows can be programmed through smart contracts, allowing resources to be used only for previously defined purposes, with an associated audit trail.
The stablecoin relies on the infrastructure already developed by Liqi for asset tokenization. In 2025, the TIDC protocol, used by the company, handled more than R$1 billion in operations and started managing more than 900 thousand receivables on blockchain. At the launch of BRLD, more than 75 partner companies already use the company’s solutions.

Liqi also provides infrastructure for Méliuz (), one of the B3 companies that adopted Bitcoin as a treasury asset, alongside OrangeBTC.
The company states that, at this stage, it does not intend to direct the asset to international payments or broad trading on exchanges, maintaining the focus on institutional applications. The expectation is to reach R$5 billion transacted with the stablecoin in 2026.
From a technological point of view, the stablecoin was developed to operate on networks compatible with EVM, Ethereum technology (), and can also be used on the XDC Network, a blockchain aimed at institutional applications with which .
