Itaú Unibanco has joined a Brazilian tokenisation pilot programme focused on bonds and investment funds.

The programme is testing blockchain-based financial assets in a regulated environment and includes major financial institutions.

Itaú is taking part in the pilot as Brazil continues testing tokenised financial products.

The project includes tokenised bonds and investment funds and aims to study how these assets could work on blockchain networks.

Itaú said the programme supports its digital asset and tokenisation strategy and helps evaluate new financial infrastructure.

Brazil has expanded blockchain and tokenisation initiatives through regulatory and financial sector pilot programmes.

Itaú is one of Brazil’s largest banks and has increased its focus on digital assets, tokenisation, and blockchain technology.
