🚀 Brazil is spicing up its CBDC game with a dash of DeFi! 🇧🇷 Banco Central do Brasil is on a mission to create Drex, a multidimensional CBDC, tackling the "trilemma" of decentralization, privacy, and programmability.

- **Tokenization on the Menu**: Drex aims to integrate tokenization into bank balance sheets, making traditional CBDCs look like yesterday's news.

- **Open Finance Platform**: Brazil's Open Finance platform will offer a smorgasbord of banking and payment options, including CBDCs.

Ripple's partnership with Mercado Bitcoin promises faster, cheaper cross-border payments. 💸
