Smartcontracts have undergone security audits by Chain Security (for Ethereum blockchain) and by Least Authority (for Tezos blockchain). ReitBZ (RBZ),” a security token that granted purchasers access to the distressed real estate market in Brazil, through blockchain-based technology.
“We’re investing constantly in innovation and cutting-edge technology, and ReitBZ is proof that our efforts along these lines have been generating good returns for our clients,” said BTG Pactual CEO, Roberto Sallouti.
The amount of dividends paid out will come to US$ 87,569.20, considering that this first investment cycle generated US$ 220,288.12 in revenues.

ReitBZ is a product that disrupts that way of thinking,” notes André Portilho, BTG Pactual partner in charge of the token.
