VERT Capital and UISA have issued Brazil’s first Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA) with on-chain financial traceability on the leading blockchain XDC Network, marking a major step in the modernization of Brazil’s capital markets.
The BRL 400 million (USD 75.5mn) issuance spans four series with maturities of up to six years and is backed by UISA’s agro-industrial receivables. The move extends blockchain-based transparency from UISA’s production chain into the financial instruments that fund its operations, giving investors verifiable lifecycle tracking of the CRA.
UISA already uses blockchain to validate sustainability across its sugarcane, ethanol, energy, and bioproducts value chain. Bringing the same rigor to credit instruments links physical operations with financial transparency, creating a unified traceability framework for all stakeholders.
“This issuance is a milestone for Brazil’s capital markets and for the global XDC ecosystem. Seeing a CRA tokenized with onchain traceability on a public blockchain represents the real convergence of sustainability, financial innovation, and operational transparency. UISA and VERT are showing the world how Brazil can lead the digital transformation of traditional markets using institutional-grade infrastructure,” said Diego Consimo, Head of LATAM at XDC Network.
The transaction also initiates VERT’s broader multi-chain tokenization strategy, building on prior activity and expanding access for international investors seeking exposure to Brazil’s private credit market.
“This issuance brings together two key dimensions of blockchain adoption: operational transparency and financial innovation,” said Gabriel Braga, Director of Digital Assets at VERT. “By recording lifecycle events of a CRA directly onchain, we are increasing traceability for investors while strengthening the link between sustainable production and its financing.”
“Here at Uisa, innovation and technology are what validate the seriousness of our ESG initiatives. We were pioneers in using blockchain to track our production, from the field to the final product, and to take the next step, we needed a partner with the same pioneering spirit, forward-thinking vision, and courage to innovate — and VERT Capital is that company,” said Rodrigo Gonsalves, CTO at Uisa. “This partnership will connect our already sustainable and verifiable operations directly to the capital markets. By combining Uisa’s sustainable production with VERT’s expertise in digital securitization, we will offer full, end-to-end transparency — from our sustainable cultivation in the field to the investor in the financial market. With this partnership, we are doing more than tokenizing an asset: we are merging physical traceability with financial traceability.”
The XDC Network provides an enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure with Ethereum compatibility, low transaction costs, and hybrid connectivity — making it ideal for tokenization of regulated credit instruments. Onchain records include key issuance events, cash flow information, and lifecycle documentation, enabling daily traceability and auditability while maintaining full compliance with Brazilian securities regulation (Resolutions CVM 60 and 160).
With more than 401 structured credit transactions totaling BRL 109 billion issued and BRL 71 billion under management, VERT continues to lead the modernization of Brazil’s capital markets through blockchain technology and regulated innovation.
