We are organizing the first official Arc Brasil Kickoff Meetup in Rio de Janeiro to formally launch the Brazilian chapter of the Arc community. This event marks the beginning of structured Arc activities in Brazil and aims to connect local builders, founders, educators, and fintech professionals with Arc’s global ecosystem.
Brazil represents a strategic opportunity for Arc due to its advanced payment infrastructure (Pix), growing stablecoin adoption (including BRZ the only stablecoin recognised by Brasil Central Bank), and increasing interest in real-world asset tokenization and onchain finance.

Venue: Casa 7 Coworking (Rua Piragibe Frota Aguiar, 7 – between Copacabana and Ipanema). A well-known collaborative space in Rio with excellent infrastructure for both coworking and events.
