“Can a DTVM-licensed infratech become the end-to-end operational backbone for Brazil's capital markets — funds, DCM, and embedded banking?”
Vórtx started in 2015 as a tech-enabled fiduciary/corporate-trust provider for Brazilian capital markets (bookkeeping, custody, fund administration, trustee for CRIs/CRAs/debentures/FIDCs). Since then it has evolved into a broader infratech platform — Vórtx ONE — that layers fund administration, DCM services, and a full core-banking stack (accounts, PIX, escrow, FX, CCB lifecycle) under its own DTVM license. The 2025 launch of Novo VRS positions it as the operational backbone for the structured-credit (FIDC) ecosystem.
