Brazil’s Top Exchange Mercado Bitcoin Lists Sport Token Chiliz

Mercado Bitcoin, the largest crypto trading platform in Brazil, will soon roll out Chiliz trading against the local currency, Brazilian real (BRL). Chiliz token is the seventh digital currency supported on Mercado Bitcoin exchange.

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO at Chiliz.net and partner project Socios.com, told Cointelegraph that Chiliz is the first utility token supported on Mercado Bitcoin. By introducing CHZ to the Brazilian market, Chiliz is apparently expecting to benefit from a local crypto boom as well as the country’s love of football — the most popular sport in Brazil.
