Brazil, Alphaville -- June 5, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- ADVFN Plc. (LSE:AFN) a leading Brazilian financial information website, has announced a partnership with UK-based blockchain development company and incubator, Online Blockchain PLC (LSE:OBC), to enable Brazilians to transact and store their money, with the launch of a new cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem called "Brazio".

Brazio is a cryptocurrency and software suite designed to enable Brazilians to make and receive payments and store their wealth.

ADVFN Brazil are excited to bring the potential benefits of cryptocurrency to the mainstream in Brazil, by acting as a trusted local partner of the Brazio coin. Cryptocurrency has to date been generally distrusted by the Brazilian public, but with ADVFN Brazil's support, we believe that Brazio, whose purpose is to help those Brazilians who cannot transact or store wealth easily, has the potential for widespread adoption.

"Brazio is an exciting new cryptocurrency, designed to fill a need in Brazil's amazing economy." Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain said. "ADVFN are excited to partner with Online

Blockchain, and believe that ADVFN's established Brazilian presence is key to Brazio's potential success."

Joo Luis Benatto Torres, director of ADVFN Brazil said "Pioneering. This was the word that always guided the success relationship between ADVFN and its users. We were the first company that sought to popularize Brazilian people access to stock quotes traded on stock national and international exchanges, providing high quality and free solutions. And that is exactly what we are trying to accomplish in the field of cryptocoins: popularizing them in our country, developing a friendly and accessible platform for every Brazilian citizen, through which anyone can mine, negotiate and use it.
