Transfero selects Wormhole’s NTT framework to enable multichain functionality for its stablecoins BRZ, ARZ, and CLZ, enhancing security and liquidity across blockchain networks.





Transfero, a prominent stablecoin issuer in Latin America, has announced a strategic partnership with Wormhole to integrate its Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework. This collaboration aims to enable multichain functionality for Transfero’s stablecoins, including BRZ, ARZ, and CLZ, across various blockchain networks, according to wormhole.com.

Transfero’s Expansion in Latin America

Transfero has established itself as a leading fintech company in the emerging market stablecoin sector, focusing on Latin American currencies. Since 2022, the company has processed over 1 million transactions and maintains a monthly trading volume exceeding $200 million. BRZ, its flagship stablecoin, has become the largest non-USD stablecoin globally. Recently, Transfero expanded its offerings with ARZ for Argentina and CLZ in Chile.

Overcoming Challenges with Multichain Solutions

Traditional stablecoins often face challenges such as fragmented liquidity and security risks due to their single-chain nature. By utilizing Wormhole’s NTT framework, Transfero aims to address these issues, providing seamless multichain functionality without compromising security. This integration allows Transfero’s stablecoins to operate across multiple blockchain networks, fostering new opportunities within decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.

Understanding Wormhole’s NTT Framework

Wormhole NTT is an open and flexible framework designed to facilitate the transfer of native tokens across different blockchains while maintaining their core properties. With a security infrastructure that has secured a total value of $55.6 billion, NTT is a trusted solution for multichain operations. Leading protocols like Lido’s wstETH and Sky’s USDS have already adopted NTT, underscoring its reliability.

Benefits of NTT for Transfero

The integration with NTT allows Transfero to deploy its stablecoins efficiently across various chains. The framework offers flexibility in expanding to new networks while maintaining control over token behavior, including customizability, metadata management, and contract ownership. This control ensures compatibility with different token standards and governance systems, aligning with the specific needs of emerging market requirements.

Moreover, NTT allows Transfero to maintain a unified stablecoin supply across all chains without relying on wrapped tokens, enhancing security and user experience while addressing liquidity fragmentation challenges.
