6 Questions for Thiago Cesar of Transfero

Thiago Cesar is the 34-year-old co-founder of Transfero, a company helping to make crypto more accessible for Brazilians with BRZ, the first stablecoin pegged to the Brazilian real.

Cesar grew up in southern Brazil’s Pindamonhangaba municipality, before making the 90-mile trek to Sao Paulo for college. He graduated from Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado, and it wasn’t long, Cesar says, before he became infatuated with Bitcoin as a graduate student at the University of London.

“By 2014, I’d been convinced that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general were going to be a big thing,” Cesar says, leading him to author his graduate thesis on the “competitive and comparative advantages that Bitcoin could bring to a business.”

In 2015, Transfero was born.

What inspired you to start Transfero?

Transfero was a joint dream between me and my four Brazilian co-founders. We met in Rio de Janeiro just after I returned from the University of London in 2015, where coincidentally, I wrote my master’s thesis about Bitcoin.

Binance vs. SEC: How low can BNB price go?

The market capitalization of BNB (BNB) has dropped by more than $7 billion since June 5 when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Binance.

The impact of the SEC lawsuit on Binance has been substantial so far with BNB down nearly 15% week-to-date.

On June 6, the SEC requested the Washington D.C. district court to freeze Binance's U.S. assets worldwide. The order, if passed, will likely force the exchange to repatriate "fiat currency and crypto assets deposited, held, traded, and accrued by customers" at its U.S. platform.

Meanwhile, Binance's United States' entity halted trading for several pairs, including Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), and Binance USD (BUSD).

Theoretically, these events risk stirring people's BNB buying sentiment, given it has been incorporated as a utility token in the Binance ecosystem.
