In this special episode recorded live at the Blockchain Ireland Summit 2025, host Sebastian Grube welcomes a very special guest from across the Atlantic — Victor Cabral, Head of Partnerships at Blockchain Rio and founding team member of Regdoor. What follows is a fast-paced, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable conversation about all things blockchain, South America, and the power of international collaboration.
Victor shares why he made the trip from Brazil to Dublin, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Blockchain Rio — a powerhouse platform that’s doing far more than just hosting conferences. From uniting regulators and innovators across Latin America to building global partnerships that extend from El Salvador to Singapore, Blockchain Rio is on a mission to make South America a central player in the blockchain world. And with nearly 18,000 attendees at last year’s main event, it’s safe to say they’re doing something right.
Sebastian and Victor also dive into some hot-button topics in the blockchain space, including the supposed rivalry between stablecoins and CBDCs. Victor clears the air with a thoughtful take: it’s not a competition — both can coexist and support different needs within a broader financial ecosystem. He also touches on exciting developments in Brazil around the tokenization of real-world assets, especially in the real estate sector, where blockchain is beginning to have a real impact.
We also get a sneak peek into Regdoor, Victor’s new startup designed to support regulatory and policy teams in the digital asset space. With its launch coming this August, Regdoor aims to simplify complex workflows and make navigating compliance a lot smoother for blockchain companies everywhere.
This episode is a warm reminder that the blockchain revolution isn’t happening in silos — it’s happening through conversations like this, across borders and across perspectives. So, grab a coffee, tune in, and enjoy this vibrant exchange between two passionate advocates for a more open, innovative, and connected blockchain future.
