The counterattack in the high-yield era—what allows Brazil's crypto market to grow by 43% against the wind?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】There’s an interesting phenomenon. Brazil’s benchmark interest rate Selic is as high as 15%, and the financial environment is not considered friendly, but cryptocurrency trading volume has not declined—in fact, it has increased by 43% year-over-year in 2025. This directly challenges the traditional notion: crypto assets only take off during a financial system collapse.

Who is driving this growth? Mainly young investors. They do not follow traditional routes and prefer stablecoins and tokenized products, viewing them as new options for asset allocation. Even more interestingly, traditional large banks like Itaú Unibanco have started advising clients to allocate Bitcoin to diversify their investment portfolios. What does this indicate? It shows that even in a conservative environment with high interest rates, institutions are beginning to recognize the value of crypto assets in portfolios.

It seems that the stability of the financial system cannot prevent the infiltration of crypto; rather, the demand itself is driving the market toward maturity.

I think the 43% growth data is really a slap in the face. Under high-yield environmental protection, crypto has become popular, indicating that everyone has long seen through the traditional financial system. Young people in Brazil are really smart. Instead of waiting foolishly for banks to pay interest, they directly use stablecoins for asset allocation. This is the right way. Even Itaú has started promoting Bitcoin? Haha, institutions also have to follow demand. This is the power of the market. Financial stability is actually accelerating crypto penetration. This logic is interesting, indicating that it's not a crisis-driven situation but genuine demand. Young people don't trust banks but trust crypto. This generation is really different. Will the future always be like this?

Traditional banks are starting to promote BTC, which is outrageous. In a high-interest environment, trading volume has increased by 43%, indicating that crypto is really becoming a necessity, not just speculation.

nah fr the copium narrative is flipping—thought high rates would liquidate retail interest but brazil's doing the opposite... on-chain signals don't lie, cascade effects are structural now, not just capitulation plays anymore. institutions admitting btc allocation? that's when you know the alpha leak is real, not some whale watching fever dream.

Damn, even traditional giants like Itaú are starting to promote Bitcoin. This is truly a paradigm shift. The 43% increase under environmentally friendly high yields—what does it mean? It shows that crypto has long ceased to be a speculative game; it has become a real asset allocation tool. --- Young people just know how to play. Stablecoins paired with tokens—this combo is something traditional finance doesn’t understand. No matter how high banks’ interest rates are, they can’t keep them. --- Wait, the 15% Selic rate hasn’t driven people out yet. This indicates that the appeal of crypto is truly undergoing a qualitative change, not just about returns anymore. --- I’m starting to feel the pressure. Big banks are recognizing it, so aren’t we who went all in going to make a fortune? This wave in Brazil really opened our eyes. --- Honestly, whether high or low interest, market demand is right here. Crypto simply can’t be stopped. It all depends on when we’ll see this wave truly hit the mainstream.

Wow, a 15% interest rate can still grow by 43%? These guys are really hungry Traditional banks are starting to promote BTC, what does that mean? It means the game rules are changing Young people don't trust high-interest savings anymore, they turn around and embrace stablecoins, this shift is pretty intense This move by Itaú is basically an endorsement from within the system High interest rates are actually accelerating crypto penetration, how ironic
