<p>The Central Bank of Brazil has selected 14 institutions to take part in the digital real pilot. This includes leading local private banks like Bradesco, and Itaú Unibanco, as well as Banco do Brasil, the largest public Brazilian bank, and the local stock exchange B3. The list also includes Nubank, a neobank with several ties to the crypto world. Multinational companies like Visa and Microsoft have also been chosen.</p>

<p>During the current phase of the digital real pilot, the Central Bank will test the privacy and programmability functionalities of its platform using a single use case, a delivery versus payment (DvP) protocol for federal public security. The digital real&#8217;s value will be pegged against the national fiat payment system, similar to Bitcoin, with a fixed supply and limited minting.</p>
