Debuting with the issuance of an Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA), a key structured credit instrument financing a sector that contributes more than 20% of Brazil’s GDP
SÃO PAULO, July 23, 2025—VERT, one of Brazil’s leading securitization and fund management companies, has launched a blockchain-based platform for managing private credit operations, built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a public blockchain built for the efficient tokenization of real-world assets. The platform was developed to digitally mirror securitization and fund operations, with onchain records of key events and transactions. The goal is to help make Brazil’s capital markets more efficient, transparent, and accessible through a secure digital infrastructure.
The platform’s first live transaction is the issuance of an Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA) valued at BRL 700 million (~USD 130 million). A CRA is a regulated financial instrument that bundles future cash flows owed by agribusinesses such as loan repayments or trade receivables into investment products. These assets are widely used in Brazil to finance agricultural production and exports. By recording this issuance and all subsequent events onchain, VERT is bringing greater transparency, traceability, and efficiency to a key area of Brazil’s economy.
Leveraging the XRPL’s efficiency, low costs, and compliance features, VERT’s solution enables secure value movement and transparent settlement across each stage of the structured credit lifecycle. It also integrates the XRPL EVM Sidechain, an Ethereum-compatible environment that brings smart contract functionality to enable programmable automation, the recording of metadata and key documents, and support for more detailed reporting.
The platform was designed to provide end-to-end traceability of asset issuance, payments, transfers, and other lifecycle milestones. It includes off-chain redundancy through VERT’s internal systems and licenses, while also recording information in Brazil’s regulated financial infrastructure to ensure full compliance. By tokenizing these operations, VERT aims to streamline the securitization process, reducing execution times, lowering costs, and improving coordination across stakeholders, all while preserving the reliability expected in regulated financial markets.
“We are enabling operation events to be recorded in the most granular way possible, ensuring traceability and transparency with event records increasingly closer to the moment they occur, approaching real time,” said Gabriel Braga, Director of Digital Assets at VERT. “It is a concrete step towards the evolution of tokenization as a structural pillar of the modern capital market. Tokenization also addresses the demand for greater transparency of operations, coming mainly from foreign investors.”
VERT’s integration with the XRPL, in collaboration with Ripple, a key contributor, marks another milestone in the firm’s ongoing commitment to innovation in Brazil’s capital markets. Its founders were pioneers in the CRA market in the country. Over its 9 years of operation, VERT has built a team of more than 200 professionals and has already issued more than 350 operations, totaling approximately BRL 86 billion issued and BRL 58 billion under management.
“Agribusiness plays an essential role in Brazil’s economy, and improving how credit is structured and tracked in this sector is a meaningful advancement,” said Silvio Pegado, Managing Director, LATAM at Ripple. “This milestone demonstrates how blockchain technology, through the XRP Ledger, can serve as reliable infrastructure for modernizing financial markets that are foundational to national growth.”
VERT plans to expand the platform to a growing pipeline of additional structured credit operations, representing over USD 500 million in value. The system is designed to support new asset classes and adapt to Brazil’s evolving regulatory and market infrastructure.
