Luiz Octavio Gonçalves Neto is the founder and CEO of DUX, a company building financial infrastructure for the creative economy in Brazil.

He joins host Aaron Stanley to discuss how DUX uses invoice factoring and blockchain-based liquidity to serve a $2.5 trillion global sector that traditional banks have largely ignored.

DUX buys receivables from creative economy companies, marketing agencies, event producers, music studios, and creator agencies, paying them upfront instead of waiting 90 days for big brands to settle.

The company has done R$182 million in volume and is targeting R$1 billion by year-end.

Luiz covers how its Web3 liquidity platform lets global investors deploy stablecoins into Brazilian private credit, why blockchain serves as an anti-fragile capital backup, and what's next as DUX launches a neobank and prepares a rebrand.
