🌎 Una invitación a transformar el futuro financiero de América Latina y el Caribe. El CEMLA, junto al FLAR | Fondo Latinoamericano de Reservas y LACChain Ecosistema, hemos comenzado un piloto que marca un hito en la región: la creación de la primera gran red regional para pruebas de dinero tokenizado (monedas digitales de bancos centrales) en un entorno colaborativo y seguro. 💬 Como bien destaca Ilan Melendez, Ecosystem Lead de LACChain: 👉 “Impulsada por CEMLA y FLAR, esta iniciativa propone a los Bancos Centrales un sandbox regional donde puedan experimentar con la emisión de dinero tokenizado de forma controlada, interoperable y eficiente.” Este esfuerzo busca también sentar las bases de un Bien Público Digital, con soluciones listas para escalar más allá del entorno de prueba, en estrecha colaboración con un ecosistema regional comprometido con la innovación y la inclusión financiera. 🧩
