Latin America as a region has a number of unique economic challenges. Currency devaluation in Venezuela has continued to crater the economy and impact the lives of millions while tariffs impact trade in Mexico. There seems to be no singular solution to the region’s problems as each country has its own unique set of economic and social challenges, but moving towards decentralized platforms may provide a new path forward and Latin American countries have been embracing this rapidly. And both countries and their citizens are looking for a better way to secure assets and participate in the global economy. Blockchain-based companies have become increasingly popular in the region, from charity focused AirDrops to peer to peer transactions.
The latest development comes from international entertainment company Fight to Fame, that announced last week that telenovela star Fernando Carrillo had joined their team as the Champion Ambassador for Latin America. Carrillo joins Flex Moore, Chairman of the Board Fight to Fame Action Star Reality Show, and others on the project. Carillo was born in Venezuela but now Mexico has become his home. So, both countries are close to him. Carrillo has managed to build a successful international entertainment career which started with his debut on TV in 1986 and continues to look for opportunities to give back to his community. Carrillo’s dynamic career has seen him as a talented actor, model, musician, and singer. Now one of the biggest stars in Latin America is turning his attention to the blockchain, with the next big thing in entertainment.
“I am honored to be part of this effort to invigorate the film industry worldwide, and to specifically help source and nurture rising talent from countries in Latin America. As my experiences in life and work have taught me, there can be no true happiness achieved without stability and creating meaning beyond one’s self. Fight To Fame is creating this on behalf of both established and rising talent, and it’s incredibly inspiring to me,” said Carrillo about the project.
Fight to Fame is looking to create a new path to stardom for fighters to become action movie stars. Supported with a blockchain platform to allow fan interaction and to manage contracts, Fight to Fame will be hosting a Reality TV show slated for 2020 with the promise of a movie contract for the final winner.
The company is currently conducting a global search for talents to unearth the next generation of fighters through a series of various challenges. The winners of this competition will proceed to secure starring roles in future Hollywood action movies. And it will be possible thanks to the collaborations and partnerships that the company has managed to find among production companies.
Will it be a Latin American fighter who will be crowned the ultimate Fight to Fame champion? It’s too early to tell, but with Carrillo backing the project, it’s obvious that blockchain is going to continue to shine in Latin America.
I’m a content writer and editor with extensive experience creating high-quality content across a range of industries. Currently, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief at Coinspeaker, where I lead content strategy, oversee editorial workflows, and ensure that every piece meets the highest standards. In this role, I collaborate closely with writers, researchers, and industry experts to deliver content that not only informs and educates but also sparks meaningful discussion around innovation.
Much of my work focuses on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and software development, where I bring together editorial expertise, subject knowledge, and leadership experience to shape meaningful conversations about technology and its real-world impact. I’m particularly passionate about exploring how emerging technologies intersect with business, society, and everyday life. Whether I’m writing about decentralized finance, AI applications, or the latest in software development, my goal is always to make complex subjects accessible, relevant, and valuable to readers.
My academic background has played an important role in shaping my approach to content. I studied Intercultural Communications, PR, and Translation at Minsk State Linguistic University, and later pursued a Master’s degree in Economics and Management at the Belarusian State Economic University. The combination of linguistic, communication, and business training has given me the ability to translate complex technical and economic concepts into clear, engaging narratives for diverse audiences.
Over the years, my articles have been featured on a variety of platforms. In addition to contributing to company blogs—primarily for software development agencies—my work has appeared in well-regarded outlets such as SwissCognitive, HackerNoon, Tech Company News, and SmallBizClub, among others.
