Brazil has completed one of its first formal rural loans using tokenized livestock as collateral, with 10 digitally identified dairy cows securing a R$100,000 ($19,600) credit note. Each cow is equipped with a smart collar that monitors health, behavior, and location, allowing lenders to reduce physical inspections and better assess collateral value. This innovation aims to improve credit access for farmers by providing reliable asset tracking and preventing duplicate loan pledges. The model could expand to support millions in rural credit, depending on lender adoption and loan performance.
