Ten dairy cows in Paraná just became loan collateral on B3, Brazil's stock exchange.
A farm in Paraná pledged 10 cows worth roughly R$120,000 ($23,500) to back a R$100,000 ($19,400) credit certificate, sold on to investment fund Target FIDC and registered on B3.
Each cow carries a digital ID generated from an AI-monitored smart collar tracking its health and location in real time, cryptographically tied to the credit contract.
Banks normally discount livestock collateral up to 60%, since they cannot verify an animal is even alive. Live monitoring removes that discount.
Cowmed already monitors 100,000 cows worth roughly R$2B and projects a fifth could be pledged within two years.
Verification, not tokenisation, is what actually moves the discount. That is the same problem sitting underneath every asset-backed facility.
