Brazilian farmers tokenized dairy cows to get loans, bypassing bank lending limits
Summary
Brazilian agtech Cowmed tokenized 10 dairy cows and placed them on the B3 exchange to secure about $20,000 in credit backed by livestock. The system uses AI-powered Smarty Collars to monitor health, behavior and location, generating encrypted digital identities and preventing double-pledging. Cowmed already tracks roughly 100,000 cows across 1,000+ farms and forecasts up to 20% adoption, potentially unlocking tens of millions in new agricultural credit as RWAs are tokenized.
