The search results confirm that `https://www.mercadobitcoin.com.br/renda-fixa-digital` is a valid and relevant link to Mercado Bitcoin’s Renda Fixa Digital offerings. It is a primary source as mentioned in the article. No need to replace or remove it. The URL also doesn’t have any tracking parameters.
Now, I will apply the em dash replacement.
The em dash is in the sentence: “These products—often tokenized slices of consortium debt, utility bills, or precatórios—distributed approximately $325 million (1.8 billion reais) to investors in 2025.”
I will replace `products—often` with `products, often`.

Adoption Shifts from Casino to Consortium
Crypto activity in Latin America’s largest economy is decoupling from pure speculation. In a report released by Mercado Bitcoin (MB), Brazil’s largest digital asset exchange, total transaction volumes climbed 43% year-over-year in 2025. The data signals a maturation point: the average user investment now exceeds 5,700 Brazilian reais (~$1,000), driven not by memecoins, but by tokenized fixed-income products.
The Flight to "RFD"
The standout metric is the 108% explosion in Renda Fixa Digital (RFD) volumes. These products, often tokenized slices of consortium debt, utility bills, or precatórios—distributed approximately $325 million (1.8 billion reais) to investors in 2025. While Bitcoin struggled to hold the $88,000 level this week, Brazilian traders aggressively rotated capital into these high-yield, low-volatility vehicles. The appeal is clear: RFD offers returns that often outperform the local CDI benchmark, bypassing traditional banking spreads.
"Investors are treating crypto less like a casino and more like a savings tool," noted Fabrício Tota, VP of Crypto Business at Mercado Bitcoin.
Stablecoins as Savings Accounts
US dollar-pegged stablecoins are effectively replacing savings accounts for a segment of the population. Transaction volumes for USDT tripled year-over-year, cementing its role as a hedge against local currency inflation rather than just trading collateral. Even as Bitcoin retained the top trading spot, stablecoins accounted for a massive share of inflows, particularly among the under-24 demographic, which saw a 56% surge in participation.
Diversification Data
The "all-in" mentality is fading. The report highlights that 18% of active users now hold multiple assets, a significant tick upward from 2024. This diversification trend aligns with the central bank’s tightening regulatory framework, which has forced local exchanges to professionalize offerings. The message from the order books is consistent: Brazil is no longer just trading crypto; it is banking on it.

Wait, I only replaced the first em-dash. The instruction was: “Find all instances of the em dash (—). Replace them with a period (.) or a comma (,) depending on the grammar.”
Let’s re-examine the text for all em dashes.
Original:
`products—often tokenized slices` – This is an em dash. I replaced it with `,`.
Are there any others?
Looking at the text again:
`These products—often tokenized slices of consortium debt, utility bills, or precatórios—distributed approximately $325 million (1.8 billion reais) to investors in 2025.`
There are two em dashes in this sentence.
1. `products—often`
2. `precatórios—distributed`
So, I need to replace both.
`products, often tokenized slices of consortium debt, utility bills, or precatórios, distributed approximately $325 million (1.8 billion reais) to investors in 2025.`
This looks grammatically correct with commas.
Double check for any other em dashes.
I don’t see any other em dashes in the provided text. The other dashes are hyphens (e.g., year-over-year, low-volatility, under-24, all-in).
So the only change needed is for the two em dashes.
