Brazilian citizens want the government to follow the Salvadorian scenario
Charles Hoskinson’s words are close to be prophetic – the Cardano CEO assumed crypto adoption would become mainstream after the events taking place in Salvador. According to the Sherlock Communications survey, 48% of Brazilian citizens are ready for Bitcoin adoption right now and want the government to follow the Salvadorian scenario.
Furthermore, the amount of Salvadorian innovation supporters is even bigger – 56% of respondents support the initiative.
Brazil is definitely among the most progressive crypto countries, as only 4% of citizens think digital assets have no future in the country. Other respondents either highlight the highest potential of cryptocurrencies or believe in such assets as a payment option of the future. 55% of respondents stated they were investing in Bitcoin.
The SC consultant, Luiz Haddad, highlights that “in Brazil the regulation is crypto-friendly, attracting institutional investors and crypto-related corporations.”
