The company’s CEO and founder is investing in a structure that will prevent managers from being “held hostage” by banks and brokers.
BlockBr is betting on the model it created for Autonomous Investment Structuring (EAI) to become what its founder calls “the XP of the tokenization world.” The idea is to serve as infrastructure to serve managers with portfolios exceeding R$ 1.5 billion in current assets, signing minimum contracts of R$ 100 million in tokenized operations in the first year.
Cassio Krupinsk, CEO of BlockBR, says that EAI is similar to the idea of Autonomous Investment Agents (AAI) that XP popularized. “The big difference is that AAI only recommends investments, while EAI negotiates with the borrower and also recommends investments,” he explains.
Thus, the company created a white label platform (a tool that can be customized with another company’s brand, visual identity, and settings) aimed at managers who wish to migrate their operations to a digital and regulated environment.
Within the platform, managers can tokenize assets and reach customers directly, without relying on the distribution of financial products by banks and brokers. For him, this path would be a possibility for the manager not to become “hostage” to these institutions.
The EAI, therefore, would bring together companies that need money with investors. “Its role as an EAI is to bring quality assets to be tokenized. It gains from structuring and distributing to investors,” he says.
The company already has a recent use case, which was the tokenization of managed portfolios for the asset manager Rio Bravo. According to BlockBr, the asset manager was able to distribute the tokens directly to investors through the structure, without relying on third-party platforms.
For Krupinsk, the idea of doing everything via tokenization has to do with a vision of the future in which blockchain will be the technological infrastructure of the financial system in a few years. This is true even if government initiatives such as Drex do not come to fruition.
“We provide papers so that the market can migrate to tokenization. The market infrastructure in general will undoubtedly be the blockchain infrastructure,” he argues.
