<p class="is-style-lead">The Brazilian central bank&#8217;s digital currency (CBDC) pilot project is set to attract the participation of both national and global companies.</p>



<p>Banco Central do Brazil, the country&#8217;s central bank, has announced its plan to onboard participants onto the digital real platform starting in mid-June 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-participant-list">The participant list</h2>



<p>On May 24, the Central Bank of Brazil (BC) unveiled the list of selected participants for the Real Digital Pilot. The BC received an overwhelming response, with 36 proposals expressing interest in taking part in the Piloto RD. These submissions included both individual applications and consortia of entities, representing a staggering number of over 100 institutions from diverse financial sectors.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Among the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bcb.gov.br/detalhenoticia/17897/nota" rel="noreferrer noopener">14 selected</a>&nbsp;parties are Visa, Mastercard and other Brazilian banking institutions, including Itaú Unibanco, BTG Pactual.</p>



<p>The official announcement of the Brazilian CBDC pilot took place in 2022, unveiling key details of the project. The digital real, the country&#8217;s central bank digital currency, will be pegged to the national fiat currency, the real. It will have a fixed supply and will be gradually minted over time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In February, the Ministério Público Federal (MPF) confirmed that it is actively formulating provisions to facilitate the legal process of confiscating these digital assets.
