Mercado Bitcoin expands LatAm RWA push with $20M in Rootstock private credit
Brazil’s Mercado Bitcoin has issued more than $20 million in tokenized private credit on Bitcoin sidechain Rootstock and is targeting $100 million by April.
Latin American digital asset platform Mercado Bitcoin said that it had deployed more than $20 million of tokenized private credit on Bitcoin sidechain Rootstock, deepening its push into real-world assets (RWAs) and targeting $100 million in issuances by April.
According to a release shared with Cointelegraph, several offerings had already reached target capacity since going live.
The move adds Rootstock to Mercado Bitcoin’s multichain tokenization strategy, which includes planned RWA issuances on Stellar (XLM) and the XRP Ledger, giving international investors Bitcoin‑secured exposure to Latin American private debt markets.
